Offered is a Manning Bowman Art Deco metal teapot, which I believe is stainless steel. It is definitely not chrome (wrong color) or silver-plate (no tarnish). There is overall surface wear--discoloration, speckling. The zoom magnifies any defects greatly! There are no deep scratches. I see one pinpoint ding on the side; no dents except on the bottom. There is a surface chip on the wood handle near where it is attached to the metal--see fifth photo. Most of what I have described is not immediately apparent--this teapot presents very well.
There are two prongs on each side of the pot which would allow it to sit on a warming cradle...sadly, the cradle is missing.
Manning Bowman went defunct in 1945, so this teapot is definitely before that. Great collectable piece!
