June 27, 2022
Antique Early 19th Century Old Sheffield Plate Silver Teapot Rare. This rare early 19th century old Sheffield Plate silver teapot is in the French Empire style and in good condition but with flaws of age and use. There is an old repair at the top of the wood handle done with custom curved small silver mending plates and silver screws. There are several small dents near the base of the body and above the inscription on the main body of the teapot. At the point where it is fastened to the body, the handle has some play in it but is secure. There is also play in the lid hinge but that is also secure and functional. Bleed- through is evident above the inscription, on the spout and at various places where the decoration is raised. The inscription is quite worn but appears to read Jun 1st 1875 so was either added at a later time or originally read Jun 1st 1815 and was modified. It is 12.25 in. High, by 9.25 in. Wide, tip of spout to tip of handle, by 5,5 in. Deep, at tips of paw feet. Circa 1810 and guaranteed to be as described. Listing and template services provided by inkFrog.
