Re: REED & BARTON TEAPOT 13.5"
Such pieces look far older than they really are, being based on English Georgian silver. 1795 is the pattern model number of this pot, which was part of a full line of tea/coffee items made by Reed & Barton. Replacement services sell the coffee pot like yours with slight imperfections for under $150.00 These were 20th Century pieces, Reed & Barton used date marks from 1928-56, here's a link, if you can find any of these marks yours dates from after 1928
