A silver teapot features a rounded, faceted body decorated with horizontal bands of engraved floral and circular motifs. A notched rectangular frame sits centrally on the polished surface. To our left, a long, tapered spout curves upward, while to our right, a curved ivory handle attaches at the top and bottom. The vessel is capped with a domed lid and a small ivory disk. Fine engravings embellish the faceted sides throughout.
