A scarce, heavy and unusual example in fine condition of a Mid 19th Century Antique Victorian "Pontypool Ware" Japanned Tea-urn / Samovar in the "High Victorian" manner. The lid, with white opaline glass finial, fully marked, BENETFINK & CO 89 CHEAPSIDE LONDON, which mark was used Circa 1851 - 1866, the copper body, of amphora form, with satyr mask escutcheons, rising from a base of ornate architectural design, the brass spigot with white opaline glass button.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Victorian tea urn or samovar is a heated metal vessel historically used to heat and dispense water for brewing tea during formal gatherings.

These vessels were typically constructed from sheet copper, brass, or japanned metal, frequently featuring spun or hand-hammered bodies mounted on cast bases with integrated spigots and heat-resistant handles.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-riveted joints, maker stamps or retailer marks near the base, evidence of natural patination, and functional internal heating chambers or spigot mechanisms.

An antique tea urn functions as a decorative focal point when placed on a sideboard, kitchen island, or dining room buffet alongside contemporary tableware or dried botanical arrangements.

Clean the metal surface gently with a soft cloth and avoid harsh chemical abrasives to preserve the original patina, ensuring iron or lacquered elements remain dry to prevent oxidisation.
