Item: Teapot Description: Bullet-shape with full Coat-of-Arms Hallmark: London 1886 by Garrards Dimensions: 2.25pint; 245mm long (handle to spout) x 145mm high x 140mm max. diameter; 620 grams Comments: This teapot is in the most desired form of pot - the bullet shape (originally produced circa 1730) and the style of this teapot is very reminiscent of the great Paul de Lamerie. This teapot has a good hefty weight and pours beautifully. It is in fine original condition and the interior has been professionally cleansed of old tanin. The teapot exudes quality as one would expect from the Crown Jewellers (the crown above the James Garrard maker's mark denotes by Royal appointment). All details have been superbly executed - the petalled base of the spout, the handle sockets and the fine flush (secret) hinge for the cover. The shoulders of the teapot are engraved in a Gothic manner with a winged putto to both sides. A full Coat-of-Arms has been engraved to one side and is surmounted by a double crest of a lion and a Neolithic man and two family mottoes.
