IMPORTANT AND RARE GORHAM STERLING "POURING TEAPOT" WITH BURNER STAND, 1895 An unusual and highly functional 19th century form. Vintage: Gorham date mark for 1895 Condition: Excellent. Minor dings, unblemished old growth ebony handle, pins tight and secure, hinge perfect, top fits snug, one pivot point slightly pushed in (see photo). Lovely, soft patina. Size : 10" tall on stand. 7-1/2" tall base to handle. Weight: 24.2 oz. (almost 1.5 lbs.!) Maker: Gorham An exceptionally beautiful and extremely rare piece of sterling holloware. From the ebony handle to the fine peaked finial to the square base and the bun-footed burner stand. This is a fine example of a "pouring teapot" which is a highly functional way to keep the tea warm. A small candle, oil burner or sterno cannister would burn in the base while the teapot could be tilted in place to pour the tea. This piece will come to you in the condition in which it was found, never buffed, from a New Hampshire estate. This is a museum-quality piece that would be an important addition to any fine collection. If you would like to see more (larger) photos we would be happy to email them to you. The Reserve will be less than $500 and is intended to protect in case of eBay outages. ...
