This Georgian tea urn and samovar takes the form of a spherical copper body resting on a tall turned pedestal and a square base with small ball feet. The piece includes original fittings such as side ring drop handles, a domed cover topped with a ball finial, and a decorative spigot tap positioned at the front. The metal displays a polished copper finish with contrasting lighter metal mouldings around the central equator and the lid. The background behind the object is a plain green fabric surface, while the base sits on a dark polished wooden tabletop reflecting the metal. Measuring 44.5 cm high by 28 cm wide, this tea urn provides an impressive decorative accent for placement atop a sideboard or display table in a traditional dining room or living space. It offers period character for an English country house interior, serving as a striking focal point with its spherical geometry and warm metallic tones.

FAQs

A Georgian copper tea urn is a hot water vessel produced during the 18th and early 19th centuries, designed to keep water hot for brewing tea at large social gatherings.

Tea urns from this era were primarily crafted from sheet copper, brass, and bell metal, often incorporating turned ivory or wooden handles on the spigot to prevent heat transfer.

Authentic George III pieces exhibit hand-hammered or seamed copper construction, period spigot fittings, iron heating rod compartments inside, and classic neoclassical forms such as globe or urn shapes on pedestal bases.

An antique copper tea urn can be displayed as a standalone decorative focal point on a dining sideboard, kitchen island, or console table to add historical texture and metallic warmth.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and polish lightly with specialised metal polish to maintain luster; avoid abrasive chemicals or prolonged contact with moisture to prevent aggressive corrosion.
