This antique tea pot was crafted by the renowned Sheffield silversmiths William Briggs & Co during the late 19th or early 20th century. Featuring an elegant rectangular squat body raised on four spherical bun feet, the piece is richly embellished with hand-engraved foliate scrolls, scrolling leaf borders, and a central cartouche left blank for personalization. A classic example of British Victorian domestic metalwork, it blends functional elegance with traditional craftsmanship. Shows expected signs of age and authentic period use, including surface hairline scuffs, moderate tarnish. The hinge and handle remain sturdy and intact.
