Behd a captivating creation, a French silver plated teapot by Mariage Frères, hailing from 20th-century Paris.Fashioned from silver-plated metal, it assumes the form of a seated camel accompanied by an Arabian Prince.This luxury teapot ingeniously amalgamates the camel's contours and the man's form into its functional facets. The camel's gracef neck transforms into a gracef spout, while the silhouette of the man metamorphoses into a functional handle. A touch of magic resides in the hump, now a hinged lid crowned by a handle reminiscent of a coil of rope. This remarkable attention to detail extends to every facet, capturing the texture of camel's hair and the intricacies of the man's attire in finely etched engravings.Dimensions: Height: 5.5 in Width: 10.5 in Depth: 5 in.This exquisite piece, named 'Karawan,' (Caravan) pays homage to the allure of the desert with its portrayal of the Arabian camel rider coaxing his steed to rise, the burden revealing a cleverly hinged opening.
