Description
Presented is a lovely antique American sterling silver teapot, dating to circa 1912-1920. The teapot is by the Art Silver Shop, an American Arts & Crafts movement silver company operating in Chicago c1912-1930s. True to the style of the Arts & Crafts movement, the pot is handwrought with an appealing hand hammered finish subtly visible in the surface. The pot is overall simple in design but elegant, with a decorative design around the body almost like stylized petals. Please note, we have for sale a matching tray by the same maker & in the same pattern, which you can find by searching 'Art Silver Shop' in our storefront. This piece is in excellent condition. The interior of the pot is spotlessly clean & looks unused. There are no splits, no leaks, no dents, no breaks, no monograms, no monogram removals, & no repairs. The pot is stamped sterling on the underside as well as the maker's mark for the Art Silver Shop in Chicago & 'Hand Made.' The teapot stands about 9 1/2 inches tall & measures about 11 inches from the back of the handle to the tip of the spout. The pot has a capacity of about 5 cups, or 40 fluid ounces/1.18 liters. The teapot weighs 718 grams or 25.3 regular ounces. Antique American Arts Crafts Sterling Silver Art Shop Handwrought Chicago Teapot
