AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare Georgian Sterling Silver Teapot – Manchester, United Kingdom, circa 1750
Sterling 925 with Vermeil Interior – Weight: 220 g
An elegant and highly collectible mid-18th-century English sterling silver teapot, crafted in Manchester around 1750, during the Georgian period. This refined piece reflects the sophistication of early British tea culture and the quality of silversmithing reserved for distinguished households.
Description
The teapot displays a compact and harmonious form with finely engraved decorative motifs and a refined profile typical of mid-18th-century English silver. The shaped spout and elegant handle integrate seamlessly with the body, while the decorative rim and period detailing give the piece a strong historical character.
The interior retains its original vermeil (gold-gilded) lining, a luxury feature used to protect the silver from tea and enhance presentation. This element significantly increases both desirability and rarity.
Material and Details
• Solid Sterling silver (925/1000)
• United Kingdom, Manchester
• Circa 1750
• Original vermeil interior
• Weight: approx. 220 grams
• Georgian period craftsmanship
Hallmarks visible inside confirm authenticity and period production.
Provenance
This teapot comes from a noble family collection, where it has been preserved over generations. Such provenance adds historical importance and collector appeal.
Condition
Very good antique condition for its age:
• Structure sound and stable
• Interior gilding still present
• Normal wear consistent with the 18th century
• No major restorations
Value and Collectibility
Comparable Georgian sterling teapots of this period and quality have achieved auction valuations exceeding €5,000, particularly when retaining original vermeil interiors and noble provenance.
Early Manchester silver is considerably rarer than London production, making this piece especially interesting for collectors of British silver.
Conclusion
A refined, rare, and historically significant 18th-century English sterling silver teapot — combining noble provenance, original gilding, and strong collector value.
An excellent opportunity to acquire an authentic Georgian silver object of investment and decorative importance.
