Tea pot c. 1863 - 1912

This silver teapot, along with a creamer, sugar bowl, and coffee pot, were created by Bigelow, Kennard & Co. between 1863 and 1912. All of the pieces are engraved with a monogram and the octagonal, footed design reflects a popular style during the Victorian era. The piece is part of the collection at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The pieces are beautifully crafted and demonstrate the high quality of American silversmithing during this period.
