This is an authentic U.S. Navy silver-plated teapot, crafted by the renowned American silversmiths Reed & Barton. Stamped on the underside with “Reed & Barton, Silver Soldered”, pattern numbers, and the bold “U.S.N.” mark, this teapot was part of the Navy’s official wardroom silver service, used by officers for dining at sea.
The teapot features a classic fluted design with a hinged lid, decorative finial, and rope-style rim. Made for durability, it reflects both the elegance and strength of naval tradition.
