Item: Teapot on Stand Description: Oval; bright-cut engraved Hallmark: London 1796 by Peter & Ann Bateman Dimensions: Teapot: 170mm tall x 2 80mm long; 1050ml volume; 460g weight. Stand: 180mm long x 130mm wide; 133g weight. Combined weight: 593g Comments: An extremely attractive oval teapot complete with it's original stand. This is a fine example of one of the most desirable forms of teapot and it maintains it's original, crisp bright-cut engraved swag decoration. The teapot has been superbly made and bears the signs of high quality workmanship - the flush/secret hinge hidden within the engraving, the floral finial and the well designed decoration. Late 18th Century teapots of this form were generally supplied with a complementing stand on four feet to prevent scorching to the table - more often than not they have become separated in the intervening years. The bonus of the original stand, the beauty of the form and decoration, the desirability of the makers and the fantastic condition make this an exciting and highly prized combination.
