ORNATE Simpson Hall Miller silverplated 3 piece tilting teapot/pitcher is in AMAZING condition! This Victorian pitcher dates to 1880s.
Pitcher is 12 1/2" tall, about 10 1/2" wide, with 7 diameter base. 16 1/2 tall with pitcher placed on base.Opulent detailed grapes, leaves and vine motif, accented by geometric encased flowers, feathered swirls & faceted. Pitcher fits base properly and rocks forward easily for pouring.
Hallmark incised on pitcher base "Simpson Hall Miller, Wallingford Conn treble plate, Pat Model #39". Second embossed circular hallmark is marked "Patented by JAS Simpson 1854 Extended for 7 years".Second part of base has a well for collecting condensation and waste. Six three dimensional female figures adorn third piece of base, repeating the grape design. One dent on one side of pitcher.
5 pindot dents near base on other side of pitcher-hard to see. Appears to have been refinished-very shiny with small areas needing polish where finish has worn off.
I polished one tiny spot and it came out clean and shiny. I have never used pitcher to pour any liquid-used for display only. I strive for 5 star feedback and want you to be completely satisfied.
