- Lot Description
Pair of Silverplate Repoussé Coffee/Tea pots with footed stands. One marked International Silver Company and one marked "Made in Sheffield England."
- Item 1: International Silver-Plated Tea Kettle on Stand, Pattern 2561, with Lion's Head Crest. A large silver-plated tea kettle on stand in the opulent Rococo Revival style, manufactured by the International Silver Company. The kettle features a bulbous body adorned with intricate repoussé work depicting floral and shell motifs. It features a silver-plated handle with bone insulators, a hinged lid with a decorative finial of a stylized bird perched in a nest, and a gracefully curved spout. The footed stand complements the kettle with a matching design of floral and shell motifs, resting on three scrolled feet with shell accents. One side of the kettle features an inscription of a lion's head erased crest, strongly suggesting it was commissioned for someone with a family crest or coat of arms featuring this symbol. Approximately 12" tall (including lid and stand) x 12" wide (including spout and handle). Marked on the base with the International Silver Company symbol and "2651"
- Item 2: Vintage Sheffield Silver-Plated Tea Kettle on Stand, Rococo Revival Style. A vintage silver-plated tea kettle on stand, crafted in Sheffield, England, in the Rococo Revival style. The kettle features a bulbous body adorned with repoussé floral and shell motifs. It features a silver-plated handle with bone insulators, a hinged lid with an eagle finial, and a bird-shaped spout. The footed stand complements the kettle with matching repoussé floral and shell motifs, resting on three scrolled feet with shell accents. Approximately 12" tall (including lid and stand) x 10" wide (including spout and handle). Marked on the base with "Made in Sheffield England," "4," "33XS-10," "R". Kettle (including lid and stand): Approximately 12" H x 10" W (including spout and handle) Base: Approximately 6" L x 6" W x 6" H
