Antique Victorian Sterling Silver Teapot with Rare Dotted Pattern Barnards 1863

About the Item

We are delighted to offer this unique and exquisite Victorian solid silver teapot made by the renowned silversmiths, Barnards of London in 1863. The teapot features a classical bulbous overall design with generous proportions allowing for plentiful refills and a magnificent presence on a table. The gauge of silver is very good with a heavy and sturdy reassurance upon holding, weighing a total of 720 grams. What is particularly unusual and unique is the decorations found on this piece with dotted and stippled embellishment on the entire exterior. It has an almost optical illusion-like effect and the amount of extra workmanship and detailing is certainly impressive. This pattern extends to the cast spout, handle and even the top finial which presents a uniform and aesthetically pleasing overall design. Each section is further elevated in decorations with a beaded border to accentuate each part. The interior of the teapot remains clean and leak-free, allowing it to also be used practically - a fabulous way to enjoy an opulent afternoon tea by yourself or with guests in an artistic and historically elegant manner. As a single teapot, this piece also serves as a versatile piece of interior decor. Perfect amongst other fine antiques or as a standalone highlighting piece in a contemporary setting, with a touch of creativity we imagine this may just be the perfect piece to elevate the ambience of your interior. The pot is hallmarked with full English marks on the base. *All images with other items are for display purposes, this listing is for the title item only.
