Vintage Footed EPNS Teapot, Ornate Victorian Style, Engraved Floral Detail

Embrace the timeless elegance of a bygone era with this beautiful vintage footed teapot. Originally silver-plated, this piece has developed a stunning, warm golden patina over time, giving it the rich appearance of aged brass. It is a wonderfully characterful item, perfect for decorative display.

Features: This teapot is crafted from EPNS (Electro Plated Nickel Silver) and boasts a classic Victorian-revival silhouette. The body features beautifully hand-chased or etched floral cartouches on both sides, showcasing lovely craftsmanship. It stands proudly on three ornate, rococo-style cabriole feet, adding to its stately charm. The design is completed with an elegant scroll handle, a gracefully curved spout, and a domed, hinged lid topped with a neat finial.

Measurements (Approximate):

• Height: 16.5cm (6.5 inches)
• Diameter (at widest point): 12cm (4.7 inches)

Condition: Good vintage condition. The teapot exhibits a beautiful, authentic aged patina, as shown in the photographs, which is part of its unique charm. There are areas of wear, darker spots, and light surface scratches consistent with its age and history. The original silver plating has worn to reveal a gorgeous golden brassy tone on the exterior. The interior remains silver-toned but shows some signs of past use and tarnishing. The hinge is sturdy and functions correctly. This piece is sold primarily for decorative purposes.

Styling Ideas:

• A stunning decorative piece for a mantelpiece or a traditional wooden sideboard.
• Use it as a unique vase for dried flowers or faux stems to add a touch of country house charm to a shelf.
• Incorporate it into a “shelfie” display, styled alongside vintage books and small plants for an eclectic, bohemian vibe.
