[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2918734, member: 2844"]Welcome Ray. Your gorgeous silver teapot is definitely Japanese. I can't read the mark, but the shape of the pot, the type of dragon and the way the dragon is made are all very Japanese. Japanese silver is generally of a high fineness. This type of teapot is called a 'yokode kyusu'. Kyusu means teapot, yokode kyusu is a teapot with one handle on the side. The yokode kyusu is usually for brewing tea rather than pouring the finished tea, but this one looks too beautiful to be used for brewing only.[/QUOTE]
