Description
I am trying to date this tea pot- Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
It has matching markings on the handle, base & on the inner lid. I can clearly see the lion ( mark of sterling silver). The maker initials are RP- note it is just RP with no period between the letters. The next mark looks like the shield marking for London. the next mark is of a king who appears to be facing left. The date marking is a K-We have been researching markings and the style of the K appears to match either 1745 or early 1825. Has any one seen a similar tea pot. Does any one ventrure to say what it is worth? Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
----There is one dent on the outer handle
Thanks, Stacey
