專家說明

The elegant fluted form of this teapot relates to a five piece tea and coffee service also by Mettayer, London, 1712 in the collection of the Dukes of Buccleuch, illustrated in 'Three Centuries of British silver', The Illustrated London News, 22 July 1950, p. 153, fig. 3. Two Irish pieces with the same fluting are also known; a teapot, by Edward Workman, Dublin, 1705-07, sold Christie's New York, 23 October 2000, lot 478 and a matching hot-milk jug which was sold Sotheby's London, 9 March 1974, lot 146.
