Description from the seller
Exquisite D. Maria Era Portuguese Silver Teapot
We are delighted to present a superb example of late 18th to early 19th-century Portuguese craftsmanship: a Neoclassical silver teapot from the D.Maria period (1777-1816). This elegant piece showcases the refined simplicity and balanced proportions emblematic of the Neoclassical style.
The body of the teapot is adorned with delicate garlands and swags, motifs that resonated with the aesthetic preferences of the era. The spout, with its graceful taper, epitomizes the Neoclassical influence, marrying both form and function in its design.
A distinctive feature of this teapot is its handle, crafted from the finest rosewood, known for its durability and rich coloration, which offers a warm contrast to the cool sheen of the silver.
Hallmarked with the Porto assay mark attributed to José de Oliveira Caetano (1810-1818), and bearing the maker’s mark from an earlier period (1790-1810), this teapot is not only a utilitarian vessel but also a piece of history. It stands 19 cm tall, measures 15 cm wide, and weighs a substantial 1028 g.
This teapot, while showing signs of its venerable age and loving use, with minor wear and gentle bruising, remains a timeless piece, ready to enhance your collection. It promises to be not just a conversation starter but a cherished heirloom, steeped in the legacy of Portuguese artistry.
Invite a piece of the past into your home with this magnificent D.Maria silver teapot, a testament to the enduring elegance of Neoclassical design.
