Its gently rising spout and curved, heat-insulated handle give the piece an elegant, balanced silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cast castle finial brings a delightful change of scale. Tiny towers, battlements, stonework and a pointed doorway are visible in its carefully modelled form. Dublin’s city coat of arms features three burning castles; this unusual finial may be a quiet nod to that centuries-old emblem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base bears a “WEST \u0026amp; SON” trade stamp, together with Dublin hallmarks: the crowned harp for sterling silver, Hibernia as the Dublin assay mark, and the date letter “G” for 1902. Inside, the teapot is clean, with subtle hammer marks visible. A pierced strainer is fitted at the base of the spout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Date: 1902, Edwardian period\u003cbr\u003e* Origin: Dublin, Ireland\u003cbr\u003e* Silverware firm: West \u0026amp; Son\u003cbr\u003e* Material: Sterling silver\u003cbr\u003e* Hallmarks: Crowned harp, Hibernia and date letter “G”\u003cbr\u003e* Additional stamp: “WEST \u0026amp; SON”\u003cbr\u003e* Finial: Cast castle design\u003cbr\u003e* Length: Approximately 23 cm\u003cbr\u003e* Height: Approximately 11 cm\u003cbr\u003e* Estimated capacity: Approximately 600–700 ml\u003cbr\u003e* Weight: Approximately 498 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood antique condition.
