Small Brass Teapot with Wooden Handle and Ornamental Band – Vintage Germany 1950s, Mini Pot & Planter

An adorable small brass teapot – almost as tiny as a toy, yet fully functional.

An ornamental band runs around its belly. The bail handle is wood so you won't burn your fingers, and it folds to the side – turning the pot into a little planter.

Care

Dry well after use; keep the patina or polish.

At the flea market in Gmünd the little pot stood next to a doll's tea set – looking ready to pour for a tea party in the nursery.
