Thisis a very rare vintage Tiffany & Company Atlas clock teapot and it carriesthe gold Tiffany mark underneath .Overall size is about 6'' tall to topof ball lid finial 9 3/4'' long across from tip of spout to outer handleAND 4 3/4'' Width on square. This extravagant Tiffany product was designedafter the main Tiffany & Co. building at 550 Broadway in New York City. Thebuilding's clock is known as Atlas Holding Clock. The Atlas figure is seen onboth sides of the ...teapot slightly stooped as he bears the weight of thetimepiece. The clock itself is adorned with Roman numerals, set at thetime of 10:10, as appears used in many historical images used in advertisingfor Tiffany clocks & assorted other time pieces according to what I haveread on this piece. This teapot is a recent acquisition that I have beenchasing for a few years now. The piece is super clean and has only been ondisplay since new. There are 2 tiny flakes on the inner rim edge that I tookthe best pictures that I could of. The fine porcelain is so bright snowy whitethat its tough to capture the small flaws.There is also a small seed in the glazeunder the lid For accuracy. See pictures please. I managed to acquire thisexample fairly reasonably and will pass on my good fortune with a veryreasonable opening price. Questions in advance please.
