Antique Victorian Silverplate Teapot — Ornate Engraved Floral Design — England

Antique Daniel & Arter Silverplate Teapot — EPBM — Ornate Engraved Floral Design — England — Pattern 9490

✨ A striking antique English silverplate teapot by Daniel & Arter, beautifully decorated with intricate engraved and chased-style detailing throughout the body.

The underside is stamped D&A / E.P. / B.M. / 9490 / 4, identifying the maker as Daniel & Arter of Birmingham, England. “EPBM” denotes electroplated Britannia metal, a material commonly used in quality English silverplate hollowware of this period. Comparable Daniel & Arter pieces bearing this mark are generally associated with the late Victorian to early 20th century.

The teapot has a wonderfully architectural shape with softly lobed sides, a sweeping curved spout, angular dark handle, and an elegant fluted domed lid. The body is richly ornamented with repeating geometric panels, delicate floral motifs, dotted borders, and fine linear engraving that catches the light beautifully.

This is a particularly decorative piece with strong antique presence—lovely displayed on a silver tray, incorporated into a traditional tea service, or styled as an elegant accent in an English country, Victorian, maximalist, or collected interior.
