<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 268981, member: 59&quot;]You&#039;re very welcome. I just happen to own a copy of the book I referenced because it focuses on James Dixon, one of the longest and best known of the Sheffield pewterers, who was the maker of a coffee and a tea pot circa 1835-40 that were passed down to me. I bought my copy directly from Mr. Scott.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for &quot;value,&quot; as moreother has pointed out (and you have shown in the pictures) it has condition issues. And yes, it IS pewter, but is most likely to be the pewter alloy called Britannia which was widely used in Sheffield. It&#039;s hard to say whether it was ever silver plated. One of the 2 Allan pieces pictured in the book is described as having been plated, the other was not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Searching for Britannia tea pots on the UK Ebay site may yield some information on whether there is a market and at what price point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
