I’ve had this tea pot for so many years, I’m not sure where we purchased it from exactly. I’ve always loved it and cherished it as special. It’s usually set up high on some shelf, unused, thought to be too valuable. Today I dusted off the dirt and decided to look it up. Turns out it’s not nearly as valuable as I thought. It’s not sterling, it’s a poor mans English reproduction made by E.G Webster & Son from Brooklyn New York. Tracing back to 1859 , Elizur G. Webster started the company known as the Webster Manufacturing Company. Apparently the company was known for it’s highly chased holloware and English reproductions. Don’t touch it! LOL
Early Hand-made Repoussé Teapot – 1870’s valued around $225.00
