Interesting, harder to find, collectible as well as good-to-use antique, piece, showing typical signs of age/ use distress while having a great and genuine antique look as you can see from the pictures. 1987 is the piece's model number, not when it was made. These old Meriden Britannia pieces usually have a 3 or 4-digit model number on them; this antique Art Nouveau teapot is much older than that. I have many more great antique and vintage items also so please check out my other listings. I'll appreciate it if you spread the word and follow me. I also can reduce shipping costs on multiple orders if you ask me in advance before paying.
