1840 Sheffield Silver‑Plate Tea Urn — George II Style with Ceramic Handle and Spout

A superb mid‑19th‑century Sheffield silver‑plate tea urn in George II revival style, with ceramic handle and spout, baluster form and bold ball feet — impressive scale and excellent surface colour.

Full Description

A handsome Sheffield silver‑plate tea urn dating to around 1840, crafted in the George II revival style and distinguished by its generous proportions and elegant baluster silhouette. The urn stands on four bold ball feet and features a ceramic spout and handle, adding both decorative contrast and functional refinement.

The silver‑plate surface retains a pleasing, even colour with gentle age‑related patina, giving the piece a warm country‑house presence. The combination of metal and ceramic elements is typical of quality Sheffield manufacture of the period, and the overall form is both sculptural and practical.

A striking decorative object for kitchen, dining room, or sideboard display — equally appealing to collectors of silver plate, tea wares, and English country‑house furnishings.
