Sterling silver teapot in the Chinese taste, the base with George II hallmarks for 1733, London; the handle hallmarked for Edward & John Barnard, London,1869-1870. Bombe form body with repousse decoration of Chinese figures in a landscape including one figure handing a cup of tea to another, a figure smoking a pipe, a figure holding a fan, and three pagodas. Domed lid with scalloped foliate edge decoration and figural finial. Scrolled D-shaped handle with acanthus thumbpiece and S-shaped spout with foliate decoration. The whole raised on four scrolled legs with female masks at the knees. Engraved armorial to one side with the Latin motto "Nil Admirari" or "To be surprised by nothing". 6 1/2" H x 10 1/4" W. 31.475 troy ounces.
Overall very good condition. Handle repaired or replaced circa 1869 as indicated by the later hallmarks. The lid has a very tiny hole to one C scroll along the border; it is not hallmarked, raising the possibility it may be an old replacement, but appears to be the same age as the pot itself.
