Looking For Info on an old Tea Pot

I have a J.Pinder & Co tea pot I am hoping to learn some more about

Internet searches have turned up nothing on it.

It is stamped J.Pinder & co Sheffield on the bottom as well as a stamped 4 and 015 above and below the company name

The pot is tapers toward the top, has individual panels which each have a unique design that looks hand made rather then stamped to me.

the handle is separated from the pot body by two wooden washers.

the lid lifter has a fine thread bolt that does not look to be had cut

It has obviously been used as the inside has residue lining the sides of the pot.

The bottom is also discolored in places from regular use

Any info on this would be appreciated

Hi, Quick look. Might this bit help? There was a James Pinder in Sheffield. Possibly him. Link below. Has marks and maybe some piccies. Hope it works

haha now I have posted all the pictures twice and the formatting is off! all the info is there, I will work on the formatting. PM or post here with any info. thanks!

 

It's in the style of a Georgian silver pot, but it's late 19th C silver plate. The information about Pinders is spot on. Very little worth, sadly.

 

The photos aren't closeups of the designs and not in focus,most like the pot was made on a patterned rolling machine.

 

very possible. as i say I am very new at this, if anyone would be able to identiy things with close ups feel free to PM me

 

would you recommend taking some polish to it? I think it would make a nice display piece but I do not want to ruin the value (such as it is)

 

it started its life bright and shiny ,,,, so go for it

 

Add them to the thread,many eyes can see different things.

 

Welcome, Rooster.

That is what it looked like to me as well.

Give it a shine, gently, it will look much nicer.
