Vintage 5-Cup Teapot, British Shipping Company

This Vintage Round Teapot with its classic ball finial, made by Mappin & Webb Silversmiths, sports the badge of a British shipping company. 

It has the signature weight of classic, collectible vintage European hotel silver - sturdy enough to withstand daily use in bustling commercial establishments. The exterior shows some patina from its history of use in the restaurants aboard ship.

It generously pours 5 cups of cups of tea and would be a unique gift to someone who adores all things nautical.

This vintage pot turns a morning or afternoon cup of steaming Earl Grey tea into an occasion - reminiscent of room service or teatime at a storied London hotel or aboard an ocean liner making its way across the Atlantic in style.  

The vintage offerings in our European hotel silver collection are restored and re-plated in pure silver in London for us by our longtime silversmiths. Even with restoration, some of the pieces may sport more patina than others due to their unique history and use which we think only adds to their character and allure.
