Overview
A vintage silver-on-copper teapot with an urn shape. The lower body has crisp vertical fluting, and the smooth shoulder rises to a hinged lid with a fluted dome and a turned finial. A long gooseneck spout with a leaf-scroll base sits on one side, and a C-shaped handle with a scrolled top sits on the other. The teapot stands on a round pedestal foot. It suits a sideboard, tea tray, hutch or open shelf.
Background
Fluted, pedestal-footed teapots like this were a popular pattern in silver-plated tea services through the 20th century. The underside is stamped SILVER ON COPPER around a central emblem with a letter S. The maker has not been identified, and the age has not been confirmed.
Condition
Pre-owned with tarnish, scratches and worn plating on the outside, with copper showing at the edge of the foot. Inside, most of the plating is worn and the copper shows throughout. The hinged lid opens and closes, the finial is intact, and the handle and spout are firmly attached with no breaks. It has not been polished or tested for leaks, and it is sold for display rather than tea service. Please see all photos.
Dimensions & Weight
The teapot is 7.5 x 9.5 x 5.5 inches (H x W x D), with the width measured from spout to handle. It weighs about 1 lb 8.8 oz.
