The teapot is of a low round shape and has a flat topped "7" shaped handle, a high rise lid with a button type knop. It has a curved spout with decorative moulding at the base.

The teapot is small bachelor or one cup size and stands approx both 3 1/2 inches diameter and high and weighs 212g. It could also possibly be a child's toy.
It has no externally visible damage, there is wear to the lustre and a chip on the inside of the lid. It displays well and is a great item for any collection.
