India Silver Teapot from Lucknow

This is an example of a stunning India silver teapot. It is from Lucknow, India.

• 

It is made during the British Raj period circa 1920.

• 

The details of the silver are very intricate.

• 

The handle resembles a cobra snake.

And the spout resembles the elephant trunk.

• 

• 

There is an elephant on top too!

• 

• 

At the bottom of the body of the teapot, there are intricate flower petals design.

• 

• 

I believe this teapot had been used. Perhaps by an upper class Indian family to showing off their wealth. It could also been used by a British family who lives in India during the colonial times. Although no sign of makers name or any significance ownership of this teapot.
