The table looks to be 1970s-1990s. The teapot is odd, are the handles some kind of metal and then the metal is just bent through the holes? How would a lid go on it? Is it maybe a water jug? I think it's also a newer item but I'm a newbie so I'll let others weigh in on that.

Looks like bamboo handles with the ends steamed and bent.

Thanks wayward! Does it look old to you?

Table is from 70`s ,,80`s Early American period in furniture. Look under the top shelf I thought I saw a paper label.  Teapot is a recent import I believe.  When you lift it by the handle the part that is over the top opening looks like it should come down and hold a lid in place !! I think it did have a lid at one time.

thanx for all the replies everyone, these were both yard sale finds only totaling $4 for both...so...lol
I like to hit yard sales hoping to find something good to restore (maybe lol) and resale...
 if you all remember the coffer table from the 20's I had on here, I paid a whopping $1 for it then cleaned it up and sold it for $100 lol... : D
