This is a barrel form pewter Chinese teapot that is likely Qing Dynasty. Condition is good with a hinged lid and a hexagonal spout. Excellent patina and a nice heavy gauge to the metal as one expects with earlier Chinese pewter teapots such as the Yixeng teapots. Unmarked but quintessentially Chinese in form. Feet are a little banged up, but its sits flat and doesn't wobble.
