Subject:Teapot
Posted By: Charles Patterson Thu, Mar 01, 2012 IP: 24.236.94.223

I found a wonderful cloisonne teapot at a local thriftshop. The meatl looks to me like silver, copper, and bronze. Here is the identifying mark. Any insights?

This would not be a teapot - metal is very unsuitable for brewing tea at specific temperatures. More likely for wine.

It does not look like cloisonn� (fillets of metal within which enamels are laid). It looks like inlaid metals.

I am sorry I can not read the seal imprint.

Good luck,
Cal
