Overview
A vintage silverplate teapot by Poole, with a wide, rounded body that sits on a round stepped foot. The domed lid is hinged and topped with a small urn-shaped finial with a flame-like top. The curved spout is decorated with raised scrolling leaf work along its length, and the scroll handle has a leaf-edged top and leaf detail at both joins, with two dark bands where it meets the body. The finish has an uncleaned tarnish with blue, gold and violet tones. It suits a sideboard, buffet or tea table, or can be polished for serving.
Background
Footed silverplate teapots with urn finials and leaf-decorated spouts and handles were a common part of American tea and coffee services through the 20th century. This teapot is marked on the underside "EPCA SILVERPLATE BY POOLE 1030," for the Poole Silver Company of Taunton, Massachusetts; 1030 is the model number. It is silverplate, not sterling. A matching Poole silverplate coffee pot with the same finial and handle (SKU BA-1556) is listed separately in our shop.
Condition
Used vintage condition with no dents or repairs seen, and the hinged lid opens and closes. The outside has tarnish with colored toning, surface scratches and light wear. The inside has light staining and water marks. Please see all photos.
Dimensions & Weight
The teapot measures 7.5 x 10 x 6.5 inches (H x W x D), with the width taken from spout tip to handle. It weighs 2 lb 3.3 oz.
