AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An elegant and highly decorative English silver-plated teapot dating to the early 20th century, circa 1900–1910, crafted in the refined Edwardian style and combining quality workmanship with graceful proportions and strong visual presence.
The rounded body is richly hand-engraved with flowing scroll and floral motifs, creating a beautiful contrast between the polished surface and intricate ornamentation. A particularly charming feature is the sculptural Chinoiserie finial formed as a seated oriental figure, finely detailed with ornate clothing and decorative folds, adding character, individuality and making this piece far more distinctive than standard examples.
Measuring approximately 32 cm in height, 24 cm across and 19 cm deep, the teapot has a well-balanced and substantial form, ideal as a decorative centrepiece or elegant table piece. The interior retains its original gilt finish, a detail associated with higher-quality production.
Presented in very good antique condition with light, age-related wear, it displays beautifully with crisp engraving and an attractive shine throughout.
A stylish and eye-catching period piece that perfectly combines craftsmanship, charm and timeless decorative appeal.
