The table looks to be 1970s-1990s. The teapot is odd, are the handles some kind of metal and then the metal is just bent through the holes? How would a lid go on it? Is it maybe a water jug? I think it's also a newer item but I'm a newbie so I'll let others weigh in on that.

Looks like bamboo handles with the ends steamed and bent.

Table is from 70`s ,,80`s Early American period in furniture. Look under the top shelf I thought I saw a paper label.  Teapot is a recent import I believe.  When you lift it by the handle the part that is over the top opening looks like it should come down and hold a lid in place !! I think it did have a lid at one time.

thanx for all the replies everyone, these were both yard sale finds only totaling $4 for both...so...lol
I like to hit yard sales hoping to find something good to restore (maybe lol) and resale...
 if you all remember the coffer table from the 20's I had on here, I paid a whopping $1 for it then cleaned it up and sold it for $100 lol... : D
