Object Condition

This antique teapot is a very good gauge of silver, fine quality and in excellent presentation condition.

The interior of the teapot has been professionally cleaned and is ready for use.

There is some crazing to the finial in keeping with age; this does not affect the integrity of the piece.

Full hallmarks struck to the surface and part hallmarks to the cover and handle are all very clear; due to their location on the body of the teapot, the hallmarks show slight signs of wear, but may be considered very clear.
