Wow! What a teapot! This is a beauty! Probably early 1800's as this shows some signs of my favorite type of silver "Old Sheffield Plate." The silver would have been rolled out onto sheets and then attached to the copper. Everything was made by hand by a silversmith. Notice all of the ornate details on this gorgeous piece. Just at a glance, it is apparent it is a handmade silver on copper treasure. The slower finial on top of the lid is special detail as well. Tip the tea pot on the stand to pour. Comes with the original spirits burner. This is a very grand collectors item! Some copper is showing through and tarnish inside. Fantastic Price 16.5" x 12"
