Great, authentically antique 19th century teapot. I did the base and some study markings match the year 1879 or 1880. Teapot is stamped from Tiffany and Co
. Uncommon, Has the saying: WELL TAK A CUP O' KINDNESS YET FOR DAYS - O' AVLD LANG SYNE.
THE BOTTOM IS MARKED TIFFANY & CO. COPELANDS CHINA ENGLAND THE INSIDE OF THE LID IS ALSO MARKED COPELANDS CHINA ENGLAND.
There are no chips on this, however there is a staple repair service on the cover which was effectively done, I've heard that some people even collect 19th century china with staple repair services. There are a couple of hairline fractures in the base of the pot, so this would have to just be for display only. No chips, colors are really strong, the gold looks best.
$50, cash money. If this didn't have the hairlines it would probably be in the $250 range.
Will certainly get rid of post when offered.
