Offering this elegant 19th Century European silver tea or coffee pot. It has embossed leaves on the shoulder, base, handle and spout with a delicate repousse rose design, dramatic 3D cherub faces, and hand-engraved swags and bows. There is a cartouche with a monogram on one side and another with the year 1856/1874 on the other side, suggesting that this was an 18th birthday gift for a fine young lady. I couldn't find a maker's mark, but the quality is evident and this was jeweler teste...d as silver (probably 800). Has patina in the details and minor display wear/scuffs but is overall in good condition with no losses or repairs. Measures about 10 3/4" tall and 8 3/4" from handle to spout. Weighs about 1 pound, 6.6 ounces.
