Having bought and sold a lot of brass items, I was surprised by this ornamental tea pot.. Top to bottom, the workmanship is superb and the scribe work is amazing.  It is in very good condition.  The peak of the chimney is currently plugged off by what looks like a mud dabbler's handiwork. There is no other evidence of mud clogging in or upon the pitcher and the spout is completely open to the bottom. It could easily be drilled out.
