Bavaria Porcelain Teapot-Silver Lusterware by Bereuther
Shipping/Handling: To Be Determined
Insurance: $2.70 USD
Price for shipping to USA
Unusual auction find. Through some research I found that silver lusterware was designed to emulate exactly that…silver; but getting the silver to permanently adhere to the pottery became a problem. After some years the finish would rub off. This has occurred on this teapot, but it continues to have a certain appeal about it. The lustre gives off a unique tarnished appearance; in it I can see several colors; blue, pink and coppery highlights make it an interesting piece. The pot measures 7 ½ inches high to the tip of the decorative finial on top of lid and 7 ½ inches wide between the spout and the outside edge of decorative handle. Pot is fluted and sits on a wavy edged base. Top opening also has raised wavy edge design. Stamped on the bottom is the Bereuther Bavaria mark with crown. Aside from the rubs where the white porcelain shows through, the teapot is in otherwise excellent, usable condition with no chips or cracks. The inside is shiny white and looks as if it has never been used. It is free from stains and the spout is free from any nicks or fleabites. Serve from it or use as a decorative piece. It is very attractive.
