Antique Gothic Revival Style Embossed/Etched Tea Pot~ L & W .S (Lee & Wigfull)

Description

Up for your consideration is a lovely Vintage, Circa 1850-1860 Etched Silver Plated Tea Pot.It is done in a Gothic Revival Style, and I haven't seen many with designs such as this.
It measures 5.25" at it's tallest point, 10.75" at it's widest point. The center panel on the front has an "M" engraved on it, likely the original owner commissioned this to be done. The hallmark reads L & W .S for Lee and Wigfull. The  EPBM stands for Electroplate Brittania Metal. This item is in Excellent Vintage Condition! Commensurate with age, this piece does have scratches and tiny marks, and some wear on the top of the handle (see pics) although, none of these in my opinion detract from it's beauty.
