1722, Bullet Tea Pot
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.

A GEORGE II CHOCOLATE POT with straight tapering sides and simple shaped wooden handle, plain style, excellent colour. The top finial is removable so that the chocolate can be stirred. To the front there is a contemporary armorial. This rare silver pot is in excellent condition with no restoration. Excellent colour. The silver marks on the base of the pot, although a little rubbed, are still in good condition, the lid is unmarked which is quite usual for provincial pieces of this date. There is a bit of wear to the armorial but it is still very readable. There is a minor crease/dent mark on the back which is too faint to photograph. The mark on the inside of the pot is where the top of the handle has been pushed in a bit – this cannot be seen from the outside and the handle is very secure.
There is evidence of a removed crest on the other side of the pot. The pot has likely been re-silvered.
