How can I tell if my teapot is antique?
A good indicator as to whether your teapot is antique is to check the spout holes. If it has three or four, it is likely your piece is an antique. There may also be a maker’s mark on the bottom, which could help identify the date made. Shop a collection of antique goods from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
