An incredible figural teapot, hallmarked on underside, cannot say for sure what the marks are but know it to be European. Hallmarks to me are a D with crown above and possibly an A near top on other mark. Finely formed tall legs with waterleaf shoulders attaching to body. About 1/2 way up body is a repeating waterleaf design which is also present at top of pot and on lid. The handle is a typical formed c1790 style made of ebony. Finial is very fancy but the spout just takes the prize! Wonderful eagle spout with feather decoration. Stands approx 13'' tall. Perhaps a chocolate pot?? Status: For Sale Reference#: 39_1600 Condition: fine Year: c1800
