HAVE YOU PRICED NEW COPPER ? ANTIQUE DOVETAILED TEAPOT IN REMARKABE CONDITIONS FOR 100 YEARS OLD- made in sweden - I understand Swedish made copper is among the world's best - MANY COPPER ITEMS DID NOT SURVIVE THE SALVAGE EFFORTS DURING WORLD WARS 1 & 2 TIGHT COPPER RIVETS-GOOSENECK SPOUT VM1 IS INCISED IN HANDLE T IS A VERY, VERY SMALL REPAIRED PIN HOLE IN BOTTOM-HOLDS WATER I HAD OPPORTUNITY TO TALK WITH A COPPERSMITH AT A FAIR. HE TOLD ME THAT WHEN THESE COPPER ITEMS WERE HAND MADE A HUNDRED YEARS AGO A MAN APPRENTICED FOR 7 YEARS BEFORE BEING ALLOWED TO SELL HIS WARES. THAT IS HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO LEARN THE CRAFT AND THE DOVETAILING ART. A SHEET OF COPPER WAS WRAPPED AND JOINED. THEN THE BOTTOM WS ATTACHED TO THE TUBE WITH THE DOVETAILING ART USING BRASS. PIC SHOWS THE CONDITION OF THE OPENING RIM. DO NOT PAY FOR ITEM TILL I SEND YOU EXACT SHIPPING COST. MY GOAL IS TO KEEP COSTS AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. NEVER A HANDLING FEE. I PAID $77.00 FOR THIS 15 YRS AGO IN ANTIQUES SHOP. WILL TAKE LESS IF I MUST. PLEASE EMAIL ? BEFORE BIDDING. SORRY, CANNOT AFFORD PAYPAL AT THESE LOW PRICES
