*SOLD* This gorgeous silver teapot is stamped on one leg with WM Rogers 800, which means that it is made of 80% silver (the standard in Europe, also known as Continental Silver, less pure than sterling silver). It features highly ornate feet, spout, and handle, and has a hinged lid. It is a heavy, heirloom quality piece of silver tea service. It has been washed but not polished with silver polish, so it has some vintage patina. This teapot is in wonderful vintage/used condition, with some light scuffing consistent with wear. There are some scratches on the handle (see photos). There is no denting or damage to the body of the pot, the lid fits and the hinge is a bit loose but works fine. The teapot measures 10 inches high and about 9 1/2 inches from spout to handle. I'm sure this teapot is close to 100 years old, and will probably last another hundred. A beautiful piece of history!
