A nice example of late Georgian design, this solid silver teapot was made by Peter and Ann Bateman in London in 1797. It has a reeded base with some lovely bright-cut decoration. It has a period crest on one side and a set of initials on the other. It is in good overall condition, it has an old repair to lid; the finial has been welded in and a second piece has been add to strengthen it at the hinge, also the handle has been re-set.
Clearly hallmarked to base and lid.
It measures approx 15cm high including the finial and weighs 389 grams.
