porcelain teapot

[sugarcube5419]

any ideas on a maker for this tea pot

approx age

what is the teapot top made of?

[mart]

Pretty heavy isn`t it ?? Looks like  maybe enameled cast iron !!

[sugarcube5419]

mart how is it you know the oddest things

yes it is heavy--any guess on the age

how did you know my spoon the other day was larger like the ice cream scooper as opposed to a cereal spoon size

[mart]

Just guessing !!  The teapot just looks heavy and it looked like a seam on the side where the enamel or porcelain coating didn`t quite hide it !!

[sugarcube5419]

its a good thing

is there a way to tell if I'm right about it being porcelain?  Do you think its newer? 

[mart]

Likely is porcelain coated !! I would think 70`s or so !! It has an odd design that looks old but new too if that makes sense !! That stainless handle style makes me think of modern art era,,70`s but the lid and spout cover kind of old !!  It was probably very expensive when new !! With that style being unique, would likely sell well now !!

thanks mart

I do get what you mean, looks old but probably not, its so solid and nice, think I will just keep it, kind of reminds me of farmhouse stoveware/
not sure what the proper term is

Wouldn't this be enamelware? 

Style looks like 80's.

So many makers out there that have never put their names/identification on their products.

At least this one has a new home!

Could be a difference in terminology, but to me that looks like an enamel kettle and not a teapot. I immediately was thinking 1960s, and it is a style that is making a comeback.

Look at these

mario--these look so similar I think you hit the kettle on the back stove burner.

Thanks--one word can make a huge difference

Mario is right was used for heating water !! Water then poured into teapot and let it steep !!
