Sterling Silver Tea Ball, Repousse, Masks, North Wind, Antique - For Sale

Sterling Silver Tea Ball, Repousse, Masks, North Wind, Antique
Price: $225.00
This ornate repousse sterling silver tea ball is decorated all over with vertical bands of masks or faces, possibly lions or the North Wind, alternating with decorative floral motifs. It is about 1.45" in diameter, 1.5" high and weighs 21 g. or 13.5 dwt. It is marked Sterling on the inside rim of the lid, which makes it American. It is hard to believe that there is no maker's mark. The tea ball dates to about 1898. The condition is very good, no breaks, tears or major dents. The lid closes securely with the little ring in front. There are one or two minor, light dings which are masked (to make a pun) by the repousse. This is a beauty.

I have several other sterling silver tea balls; please feel free to inquire.
