Silverplate teapot by Van Bergh Silver Plate Company

This quadruple silver-plated teapot was manufactured by the Van Bergh Silver Plate Company around the 1890s during the Victorian era. The piece features ornate engraved floral designs and decorative handles and finial, characteristic of the elaborate Victorian aesthetic popular during this period. The teapot exemplifies the high-quality silverplating techniques used at the time. Van Bergh silverplate items are highly valued by collectors of Victorian-era silver and antique tea services. The quadruple plating process used for this teapot created a durable, heavy silver coating that has allowed many pieces to survive in good condition for over a century. Collectors appreciate these pieces for their craftsmanship, ornate detailing, and their representation of late 19th century American silversmithing traditions.
