Unique melon-shaped pewter coffee/teapot in the chinoiserie style. The finial is exquisiteÂ...an oriental peach, surrounded by its branches, sits atop an aesthetic 3-leaf base. It has been secured by a wing nut since original manufacture. The interior of the pot is copper lined. The ornate handle is ringed top and bottom for heat protection by what appears to be bog oak. T is a small piece missing from the bottom ring. It sits on an applied ring with four acanthus leaf feet. One of these feet has a split and subsequently been repaired and reinforced. Please see photos. To the underside is Â"W. W. HARRISON & Co. SHEFFIELD 5 ½ PINTS 1492Â". Dimensions: Height 7 ½Â"; Spout to finial 9 ½Â"; Diameter at base rim 4 ½Â". A few dimples and wear consistent with age and use. The lid fits snugly and is tight on its hinge. Overall, in very good antique condition. Lovely soft patina. This is the crème de la crème of Victorian pewter teapots. ABOUT US WeÂ've been involved with antiques for many years. Please add us to your Â"Favorite SellersÂ" list if you like any item we have offered. We are likely to be offering a similar item within a few months at most. We sell what we like, and we will be offering many pieces from our own collections over the next while for the usual - moving and downsizing. Please ask your questions before bidding. We frequently do antique shows on weekends, so would appreciate it if youÂ'd ask questions Monday to Friday. We have always answered weekend questions, but please be patient. Shipping, Handling and Insurance We take the utmost care in packing our customersÂ' purchases. We ship worldwide. We invoice on Sundays and Mondays. Items are shipped at least weekly (and sometimes twice), generally on Wednesdays - we request you make payment for your purchases by Tuesday evening so we can ship to you in a timely manner, instead of making you wait for an additional week. Shipping and handling are at cost and will be quoted in advance to our customers on request. We ship Canada Post, as well as other shippers on request. WE WILL HAPPILY COMBINE SHIPPING ON ITEMS PURCHASED WITHIN A WEEK OF ONE ANOTHER. Just let us know your intentions. Shipping times for surface are as follows: US/Canada 1-2 weeks; UK 4-6 weeks; Europe/Australia 6-12 weeks. We can assure you that air transit is far superior to surface, and the cost is generally only slightly higher. Sometimes shipments from Canada can take a bit of time, but we can assure they are worth the wait! Shipping costs from our part of the world can be higher than domestic costs in the US, and particularly within Canada. Please donÂ't be shy about asking for a quote before you bid. We will insure your purchases in transit on request at $1.50 per $100 value ($100 value minimum). We will self-insure up to $20.00 value maximum. Payment Payment is expected within 7 days of auction closing. We prefer PayPal, but will accept INTERNATIONAL money orders. Personal cheques are a problem for everyone, as they can take weeks to clear, and your shipment will be accordingly delayed. Any questions we havenÂ't answered? Ask us!! Thanks for looking and thanks for your consideration. |
