DESCRIPTION |
Huge Georgian silver tea pot with condition issues. This large tea pot is of the highest quality and has been in constant use but now requires some restoration. This piece scraps at a little over £150 as I write, but I am reluctant to scrap such a beautiful object and hope that someone will be prepared to take it on. |
