    8123 George II Silver Bullet Teapot

    Sold

    An antique sterling silver bullet shape teapot. Lovely plain shape with a straight spout and hand engraved decoration to the upper body and lid. Excellent quality and many fine features. The lid detail is particularly charming with the fan motifs blending into the little face masks on the upper body. The bullet shaped teapot is probably one of the best known types of the George II period and the lid of this one has a cleverly concealed flush hinge which is difficult to distinguish as the engraver has continued the decoration over this area. Contains 450 ml. Weight 384 grams, 12.3 troy ounces. Height 10.5 cms. Spread 20.25cms. Diameter of base 7 cms. Made in London (no date letter).
