"Geogian Teapot, London 1794, Sterling Silver, Henry Chawner, George III"
Lovely and sober teapot from the George III period or the Directoire period if we take French history as a frame of reference. It is executed in sterling silver (925%) and is, despite its great age, in very good condition. On one of two sides is applied a cartouche of the same period in the shape of a shield engraved with the intertwined initials N D. On the bottom are the four regulatory hallmarks of the city of London for the year 1794 and the renowned silversmith Henry Chawner . The handle and fretel are blackened wood, probably ebony. It weighs 485 grams.
