This appears to be a Sarreguemines & Minton teapot purchased at a brocante in Belgium. Unfortunately, there is a crack in the bottom, so it cannot be used. I used to display dried flowers in it. I have never put water in it. Also, it did not come with a lid from the beginning. Although it has some issues, it is a rare item with few remaining, and is difficult to obtain. Please purchase with the intention of displaying it. Size: Height 16.5cm, Width 22cm It's a large size. It's discounted due to the flaws.
