his beautiful teapot has an oval shaped body with two raised horizontal bands around the center of the body with a gadroon upper edge. Pot stands on four elaborately decorated paw feet and has a nicely shaped spout and handle with applied finger hold. The lid's hinge is perfect and the lid opens and closes correctly/tightly. Lid has an oval ribbed finial that attaches with a screw through the top of the lid. This tea pot holds about four pints and is a nice size for use by an individual who still enjoys the finer things of life including afternoon tea.

The tea pot is in excellent Estate condition with no dents or dings reflecting only minor wear as expected from age and normal use.
