Presented is a lovely antique American sterling silver teapot, dating to circa 1912-1920. The teapot is by the Art Silver Shop, an American Arts & Crafts movement silver company operating in Chicago c1912-1930s. True to the style of the Arts & Crafts movement, the pot is handwrought with an appealing hand hammered finish subtly visible in the surface. The pot is overall simple in design but elegant, with a decorative design around the body almost like stylized petals. Please note, we have for sale a matching tray by the same maker and in the same pattern, which you can find by searching 'Art Silver Shop' in our storefront.
This piece is in excellent condition. The interior of the pot is spotlessly clean and looks unused. There are no splits, no leaks, no dents, no breaks, no monograms, no monogram removals, and no repairs.
The pot is stamped sterling on the underside as well as the maker's mark for the Art Silver Shop in Chicago and 'Hand Made.'
The teapot stands about 9 1/2 inches tall and measures about 11 inches from the back of the handle to the tip of the spout. The pot has a capacity of about 5 cups, or 40 fluid ounces/1.18 liters.
The teapot weighs 718 grams or 25.3 regular ounces.
