AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The bottom of your teapot spectacularly confirms that it is an authentic piece signed by the artist Vally Wieselthier (monogram VW), and not a stoneware replica by Marcellus Aubry.
This major discovery elevates the item into the category of international design collectibles with a much higher value.

Analysis of the markings on your piece :

• The monogram "VW": Hand-engraved at the bottom, this is the official signature of Vally Wieselthier.
• The number "1" in the center: Generally indicates the model number or a workshop mark.
• The four digits "2" around the rim: These are manufacturing markers or worker/mold numbers tied to the ateliers with which it collaborated.
