Vintage 1960s STIEFF Colonial Pewter Teapot 11” Limited Edition Made in Spain

Description

Vintage pewter colonial teapot made by The Stieff Company in late 1960’s in Spain. Unable to keep up with demand for pewter at their present factory in the US, Stieff had a limited amount of products produced in Spain. Once the new factory was built in the US, production ceased in Spain. This teapot has the markings on the bottom - “Stieff Pewter E-50 Spain”. All model numbers that start with an E were made in Spain. US products start with a P. Height is 11”, diameter of base is 5”, tip of spout to back of handle is 10”. Everything functions properly, including the hinge on lid - no stiffness. In great condition besides pitting that reflects it’s age. A very stately piece. I also used this as a flower vase - stunning.
