As true Brits, we're great believers in the power of a cup of tea! We're well known as a nation to turn to popping the kettle on, whether it's in a time of comfort, needing help solving a problem, catching up with friends or family, so it's no suprise that we're a little bit in love with this vintage gold teapot charm! We love it's large size and that it opens too so it can be used like a locket to hold a tiny treasure.
The charm is made of 9ct gold and has British hallmarks to the bottom for the maker 'PPLD', 9ct gold, Birmingham and the date letter 'A' for 1975.
The charm is detailed throughout with beautiful open work detail and the lid is hinged to open and close.
The charm measures approx 15.5.mm tall by approx 27mm handle to spout (not including the jump ring) by approx 15.1mm deep and weighs approx 5g in total. The opening to the top of the teapot when the lid is open is approx 7mm in diameter.
Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition with some light signs of age and wear, including surface wear and light tarnishing to the gold. The hinge still works well and the lid closes firmly with a click. The jump ring is currently pushed closed. Please see photos.
*Please note the box and chain pictured are not included in the sale but the charm will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch.*
