CONDITION:
This teapot is in good condition, there are some small ruptures under the lid, this teapot has been professionally restored by a very skilled hand and looks perfect to display, but my advice is not to use it for serving hot beverages.

The product has imperfections or a patina due to its age, as can be seen in the photos. Please take a close look at the pictures before making your purchase!
