Re: Tea Pot

This pieces is preety typical of silverware made for commercial usage. It tends to be of heavier construction than pieces made for the domestic market, but is not in great demand unless there is a provenace to it's use by a famous person who stayed at the hotel- EG. Cary Grant. In the current market comparble pieces often sell for less than $50.00 at auction.
