Antique Shaw & Fisher Sheffield Teapot / Coffee Pot - Art Nouveau w/ Bakelite Knob - Unique Shape Ornate Design Silver plate Late 1800s
Very special antique silver plate teapot by Shaw & Fisher Sheffield that has an oval knob on the lid, etching on the sides featuring ornate designs with some fruit and various other geometric shapes like ovals and scallops. This teapot made in England has a unique oval shape that reminds one of Aladdin's lamp. The off-white knob on the lid also adds a different look to this late circa late 1800 silver plated teapot. The Shaw & Fisher Sheffield stamp/hallmark is on the bottom.
The style is Art Nouveau, which is more flowery than the Art Deco period, and was popular during the period from roughly 1880 until just before World War I. The hallmark on the bottom dates this between 1877-1898.
In nice antique condition with wear consistent with an antique item that is about 140 years old. The teapot is still sturdy. There is some loss of the silver plate here and there, especially the bottom around the edges and in the center where the hallmark is. The lid is slightly lopsided. The knob on the lid is discolored and shows some wear - see last photo. Item is priced to reflect these conditions. A great shabby chic piece.
A great piece of history and a wonderful shabby chic kitchen decor or serving item from the late 1800s.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we answer questions about the value or “worth” of items?
No, we are not comfortable providing pricing or answering questions about the value or worth of vintage or antique items. We believe they are worth what someone will pay for them. Therefore, there is no way to assign something a set monetary value - in our opinion. We suggest doing an online search to find similar items and take it from there.
