<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"><tr><td><em> where will you find another?!</em></td></tr><tr> <td width="100%"> Presenting a wonderfully decorative tea urn and stand which has
a commanding impact on any room it is placed.<P> Though
most of the silverplate has been worn off, this urn has a very
sophisticated look. The detail work is outstanding. Just the lid
alone is fascinating, with a beautifully engineered hinge and a
charming swan as its knob. The fully worked spout is very
lyrical.The teapot has two projectiles on each side which meet
the base in such a way that the pot swings for pouring.<P>I do
not see any markings on
the piece, so I must assume that it has been worn off by so
many years of polishing and use.<P>CONDITION: Over all, the
urn is in very good condition. There is a smallish dent on one
side, which is barely perceptible. Also, the wood handle (which
folds for storage) has a small piece missing at the point where it
meets the metal mounting for the handle. Nothing
serious.<P>This tea urn and stand has a wildly exuberant,
somewhat decadent form which is very appealing. Don't let it
get away from you! </td></tr><tr> <td> </td></tr><tr> <td>Reference #: DA295</td></tr><tr><td>Condition: GOOD</td></tr><tr><td>Year:C. 1900</td></tr><tr><td>Country:USA</td></tr><tr><td>Maker:unknown</td></tr><tr><td>Height:15</td></tr><tr><td>Depth:13</td></tr><tr><td>Width:13</td></tr><tr><td>Weight:5</td></tr><tr><td>Title:FIRST-RATE, 19th/early 20th c.
