This is an antique English teapot. The photos are still in the process of being polished. This is a very rare item, and incredibly, it's made of solid silver at this size. I believe the handle is ebony. There are some dents, but I put it away without using it after I bought it. I'm selling silver items because my interests have changed. I hope someone who likes it will take it. As it is originally an antique item, please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item. I don't have much knowledge, but please ask if you have any questions, and I will try to answer them.
