Early 19th century English silver which is based on Chinese design, or influence, is still a challenge to me, and I expect it's also a challenge to other collectors. Here's teapot I recently purchased, and aside from its obvious "relationship" to the China trade, (viz the finial) I personally wouldn't have had much interest. IMHO the "book is still out" regarding early British makers of silver in Canton and its environs. But that is not a necessarily important comment regarding this tea pot, as it well (and likely was) made by a London based silversmith in 1822. I can't find this maker's mark in any of my usual sources, so does anyone else recognize this maker's mark? Many thanks in advance for any comments rendered by the esteemed members of this forum.
