A charming example of Moroccan design, this small pewter teapot is full of understated character. With a rounded, low-slung body and tall turned finial, it’s balanced by a graceful spout and decorative handle. The softly aged pewter surface has a gentle sheen and shows just the right amount of wear.
Traditionally used to serve sweet mint tea. Whether used as intended or displayed as a piece of functional folk art, it’s a beautifully practical object with timeless appeal.
