Title: Can anyone help me identify this silver on copper teapot?
Post by: ANTIQUERAIDERS on March 19, 2015, 01:59:14 PM: Can anyone help me identify this silver on copper teapot? I am thinking it is 1800-1900 Dutch/German.

I am attaching the pics of the bottom markings.

thanks in advance

E.G. Webster & Son, Although I am not familiar with the maker it seems you have a cooler one then the one here although that is opinion only.

Here's another EG Webster to keep an eye on for sales but it has some issues (love how they listed it as "over polished" instead of missing silverplating:

In all fairness...I haven't seen a EGW&Son shaker sell for that amount -Even in pristine condition. With this market you will see them sell for $50 - $250 depending on market demand wherever you live.
