Antique Silver Plated Teapot

An antique teapot described as "brass" is often a base metal that has been silver-plated (known as Electro-Plated Nickel Silver, or EPNS), or it is a genuine, unplated brass piece. Unplated brass teapots were common in various cultures for centuries, particularly for daily use, or in Morocco/Middle Eastern tradition for mint tea.
