     If you could post some pics, or maybe post what the name or markings are we could give it a great shot, Love to help, or rather would love to learn more about metal holloware.  There are several sites that may help, first start by looking up the makers name, then check out Ebay for comparsion and then if that leads no where, I have several books on the subject of metal holloware.  Again we would love to help, just need a bit more info.  Thanks

Sorry I didnt make myself clear. The only thing on the pot is "English Made". I know it is old I just cant find any webpages that have information about old brass without makers marks.

My favorite site to check out copper and Brass is this one I posted.  However without markings it could be really hard to dermine value, age, or history of
the pot.  Does it have any unique embellishment that might give a clue?  Which I could help more, I will try and surf around, but I sure you will find most sites I proably would.  Maybe someone else can help, I'm no expert by no means just a novice still learning.  Hope this site will help.
