Unusual Vintage Silver Plated Teapot With Celtic Decoration c1915 mouseover to enlarge Unusual Vintage Silver Plated Teapot With Celtic Decoration c1915 A superb almost antique electroplated Britannia Metal teapot, from a maker better known for his work in Old Sheffield Plate.Made in an unusual style for the period with applied Celtic beading around the collar for deoration. Fitted with a man-made material handle and removable finial. Presented in very good - fine condition: see below for more details and definitions. Made by John Turton & Company Ltd in Sheffield. In business from 1818 until 1923. Bearing the marks used from 1910 until 1923 however, the relatively low serial number probably dates it to c1912 - 1915. Height (top of finial) 18.2cm (7¼") Capacity 1.136l (2 pints) In arguably very good - fine condition, with no damage or repairs. There is no loss of plate. Bearing the usually inherent scratches that one must reasonably expect on used pieces with so many years of loyal service under its belt. Immaculately clean internally. A very unusual, eye-catching piece, from a superb time-served maker. Bid early and well for this quality piece folks! A reasonable starting bid has been set, with no other reserve. Make no mistake, this very unusual example will sell to the highest bidder. Make sure its you! Thanks for stopping by - why not take a peek at my other items? Where possible I always combine shipping on multiple wins to save you postage costs. All Silver plate and other metal pieces in my listings are of some age and generally have been used for the purpose for which they were made. For clarity within my listings the grading definitions I use which best describe the external qualities of each piece are as follows: (Internal condition will be listed on an individual basis) Very Fine - Extremely good condition with no detrimental issues - rarely found on antiques outside of a museum! Fine - Has signs of careful / respectful use with minimal surface scratches commensurate with age and such use. Very Good - Has no dings of any real consequence, few scratches (no more than expected through normal usage), that are not unsightly. Good - May have less than five minor dings and / or some scratching (more than normal usage) and / or minor pit marks, along with some minor thinning to the plate commensurate with long periods of use, but not considered too detrimental. Fairly Good - May have numerous (+ five) minor dings and / or some plate thinning and other signs of prolonged use which may include deep scratches and patches of pit marks to the plating. Reasonable - May have repairable / repaired dents or other issues and may / or will need replating, but is still of probable interest. Anything considered less than reasonable will not be listed in my auctions! I cannot guarantee the thickness of plating remaining. I strongly recommend that one uses a good quality silver cleaner sparingly. Once polished, the sheen can easily be maintained by simply washing in warm soapy water, and drying with a soft clean cloth immediately. Any dating and period statements given are estimates only, depending on my experience with styles and information available within my vast documentation and other on-line sources. I am only human and may sometimes, inadvertently get this wrong! Where possible, exact dating will be confirmed by date markings or registered numbers where available. All other curios and items of interest will be described individually and graded as I see them. No Item I offer is deemed to be unfit for purpose, if it was, it would not be listed!
