Christofle Teapot, Gallia Colbert Series
Art Deco-style teapot crafted by the silversmith Christofle in the first half of the 20th century.
It belongs to the Gallia Colbert series, as indicated by the mark on the bottom.
The company is known for having introduced electroplating for gilding and silvering in France and for having supplied tableware and table service to Napoleon III, the Tsar, the Kaiser, the Austrian imperial family, and the Ottoman sultan—so much so that Charles Christofle came to be known as the silversmith to the emperors.
The teapot, made of silver-plated metal and ebony-finished wood, measures 21 cm in width and is 20 cm tall.
