James Kirkup
An early Georgian teapot of bullet form on a circular foot (lacking handle and lid finial).
10 cm high, 13 ozt.
Auction Condition Report: The top and bottom terminals of the handle (missing) are crooked and dented into the body. The body has numerous shallow dents. The cover is apparently unmarked. The body of the pot has a rather odd vertical line below the monogram it could be a stain or a seam, the interior of the pot is fire gilt apart from the underside of the cover, with this in mind I can not see signs of the above-mentioned seam from the inside even under a strong light. We do not have the ivory/ pearwood handle or finial or any of the fixings. The interior has an oval patch that would be below the level of the armorial but it is only visible from the inside.
It has a later engraving of initials possibly 'IAB' slightly above where armorial would have been - now patched.
