THE MOST UNUSUAL Teapot I have ever seen. Have you seen this before?

    I have taken this thing all over California to antique shops and each one gives me a different definitions. “I’ve seen these before. It’s a modern reproduction from Turkey. It’s Tibetan. It’s a Russian Samovar. Not worth much.” Yet they all wanted to buy it. I even stumped the “experts” on Reddit.
    Half of it holds the liquid and the other half hold the coals. There is a small door at the base for cleaning out the ash. It is brass with a copper core.

    We have two Russian Samovars with teapots - totally different. Also, yours has Chinese or Japanese images so you need to be looking in those countries. Definitely not Russian or Turkish.

    I would call it a Kettle for boiling water, not a teapot.

    Or get this, maybe try not showing you don't appreciate the free help you've gotten from others already while you ask for more free help. I think that could be helpful advice, but what do I know.

    Not the friendliest comment for a New Member to make to a Well-Known Member. You may now find other members reluctant to help you...

    The moral of the story: Good manners will go a long way on Antiquers.
