This small saffron silver tea pot was originally crafted in Europe and imported into England in 1893- the hallmarks show this
Saffron has always been famously expensive – the world’s most expensive spice by weight – and has been enjoyed for thousands of years in food preparation.
From the mid-18th into the 19th century, a few small silver teapots were produced for serving saffron tea.
Saffron tea was drunk for its well-known health benefits and and although making a silver pot was commensurate with the value of the spice, given saffron’s expense, only small quantities were served and the teapots became miniaturised versions of a regular teapot.
This pot is fine example – note the detail on the spout and the flower finial.
Perfect for tea for one or at a push two!
