This elegant antique silver teapot is a tall, refined piece, likely from the late 18th to early 19th century, reflecting the transition from Rococo to early Neoclassical design. Crafted with a vertically elongated, pear-shaped body, it features graceful spiral fluting that enhances its sense of movement and sophistication.
The spout is a standout element, sculpted in the form of an animal’s head—possibly a hound or mythical creature—adding a whimsical yet noble detail typical of high-end European silverwork from the period. Its curved wooden handle is finely shaped, offering both visual elegance and a comfortable grip.
The teapot rests on a fluted circular foot and is topped with a hinged lid that mirrors the spiral design, crowned with a delicate finial.
