Rare Antique Gorham Silver Teapot.
Description
A rare Gorham silver teapot, dating to circa 1881.
Very unusually, the body taking he form of a pine cone.
The beautiful cast handle modelled as the gnarly bough of a pine tree,
the splaying branches spreading across the body.
The spout, incredibly, takes the form of a butterly with splayed wings.
The hinged domed lid topped by a cast shell finial.
Underside stamped with Gorham's maker's marks, STERLING, 25, N.
This is a genuinely rare and stunning piece.
One of the finest examples of Gorham silver in the Aesthetic style.
