Description :

Mid-Century Silver Teapot With Hinged Lid And 45 Mark

Description: A silver-toned teapot manufactured between the 1950s and 1970s, featuring a vertically ribbed lower body, smooth upper band, domed lid with radial fluting, and a molded tiered finial. The lid is hinged to the body and opens to reveal a smooth interior chamber. A molded black handle, likely Bakelite or early plastic, is mounted with metal fasteners. The curved spout includes subtle decorative shaping at its base. A gold-toned vertical line along the body indicates a restored crack, executed in a style visually consistent with kintsugi—a Japanese-inspired aesthetic repair philosophy. The underside of the teapot bears a stamped “46” mark; however, no manufacturer branding, hallmarking, or inscriptions are present elsewhere on the lid, body, spout, or handle. The utilitarian form and unbranded finish reflect mid-century silver-plated domestic serveware distributed through department store channels during the post-war expansion of household goods.

Materials made of: Silver-toned metal; molded plastic

Note: Please look at pictures. The lid is a little crooked.


Measurements:

9" Handle to Spout x 3 3/4"W
