Brass teapot. The object is composed of the following parts: the pot, the base, the spout, the handle attachments, the handle, the lid and the lid knob. The pot is round-bulbous at the bottom, above that hollow-round with a straight upright neck. The base is a flat plate, bent over at the edges and brazed. This was later re-secured with solder. The angular spout is brazed against the pot, which goes up with a sharp bend and ends in an animal head. On the top of the pot next to the neck, two handle attachments are attached in line with the spout. The bracket-shaped handle has a straight wooden grip in the middle. The bell-shaped lid has a large wooden knob on top. The zinc lower edge of the lid is loosely attached. The inner sides of both the pot and the lid are tinned.
