Overall, the teapot is in great shape considering it's age, still has its original wrapped wire handles. There are definite signs of wear and some staining with the porcelain, and there is a chip in the last picture (around 1cm). This is a collectible antique, so I'm hoping this will go to someone who will really enjoy having it.

I want to just warn people not to actually use the teapot, though. Due to its age, it might have lead paint or something else I don't know about. Also, the teapot might break from the sudden temperature change if hot water was poured into it. It's really just a beautiful decorative item to treasure.

Please take a look at the detailed photos as they are part of condition report (the last 2 pictures: staining and chip). Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll do my best to answer.

I am selling some of my collections, please check others and we will do combine shipping.
