Long Description
Hello. I have recently acquired a minature teapot, 4 inches in diameter, with a wooden handle. Â It appears to be antique, with either white mineral deposits or corrosion on the interior. It appears to be made from brass. The bottom of the teapot is marked "India" in dotted capital letters. I attempted to research it on google, but could not find an exact match to this teapot. Â Similar teapots were claimed to be made in the 1940s-1960s. Â I was wondering if anyone has seen a match to this teapot and if they could estimate the year/decade in which it was manufactured/created. Thanks!
