Introducing a British antique sterling silver teapot.

This is a very popular work by the Barnard family, made in 1840 and said to be Britain's oldest silversmith.
The round shape is cute, and the entire piece is decorated with very detailed engravings.
The handle and finial (knob) are also made of sterling silver, and the finial has a flower design.
It has been kept in such a state that it is hard to believe that it was built over 180 years ago.

It is a small bachelor size, which is rare in this era, and is easy to use during tea time at home.

A large sugar bowl with something like a family crest engraved on it, which seems to have been made as a set, also arrived at the same time.
