Vintage Reed & Barton Silver Plated Hand Chased Regent Teapot. Silverplate, hollowware. Measures about 9" in height by about 10" across. Very good condition. Needs polishing, has water drop marks.
Add a touch of timeless sophistication to your tea service with this vintage Reed & Barton silver-plated teapot in the "Regent" pattern (model 5600C). This pattern, introduced in the mid-20th century, is one of Reed & Barton's most enduring and celebrated designs, prized for its ornate Victorian-inspired hand chasing. Measuring approximately 9" in height and 10" across from spout to handle, this substantial piece is crafted with a heavy-gauge base metal and finished with high-quality silver electroplating.
The teapot features a graceful, bellied body adorned with sculpted scrolls, delicate florals, and herringbone accents. Its intricate details extend to the vine-like flourishes on the spout and feet, embodying the elegant Hollywood Regency aesthetic of the 1950s and 60s. While it shows honest signs of age with water spots and tarnish, its excellent structural condition ensures that it can be restored to a brilliant, mirror-like shine with a gentle silver polish. It is a perfect choice for special occasions, formal dining, or as a centerpiece in a collection of American hollowware.
