[SILVER 0.835] - Germany - 19th century, after 1886 - Neo-Rococo Teapot
Dimensions: height 20.5 cm, width approx. 25.8 cm.
Weight: 817 g.
A stately teapot with a stocky, pear-shaped body supported by four decorative legs. The body and the domed lid are formed into wide, spirally twisted curls. The long, S-shaped spout extends directly from the lower part of the body and ends in a contoured spout tip. The hinged lid is mounted on a hinge and topped with a cast, openwork-chiseled handle in the shape of a Neorococo bud. Its inner surface is gilded.
The tall handle is shaped as a sculpted, elongated volute covered with rocaille decoration, fine dotwork, and stylized leaves. At its attachment points are two yellowish insulating rings, presumably made of organic material or a bone-like synthetic material. The legs are adorned with palmette bases that transition into S-shaped, flattened feet. The body was made using the repoussé technique, while the handle, the lid’s finial, and the legs were cast, chiseled, and soldered.
The bottom bears German hallmarks dating from after 1886 in the form of a crescent moon and a crown, the fineness mark “835,” and the inscription “Handgearbeitet.”
Condition: as shown in the photos.
