Bullet Teapot, 1858

This is a stunning Victorian silver teapot. Taking the highly popular bullet-shape, this teapot stands on four acanthus leaf and claw feet and is superbly floral scroll chased all over. The attention to detail is exquisite from the unopened flower bud finial to the superbly made flush hinge that is hidden among the decoration. There is a vacant cartouche to both sides of the pot and a full set of hallmarks to the underside. Condition is first class throughout.
