Hello Laurie,

Thank you for choosing Mearto for your online appraisal.

An Asian Export Silver Kettle, circa 1900s with S stamp. This exquisite kettle, likely hailing from the Sian region and adorned with the distinct S stamp, reflects a convergence of artistic traditions and trade during a period of historical significance. The silverwork, a testament to the metallurgical skill of the artisans involved, showcases a harmonious blend of form and function.

The kettle's dimensions and design, a product of meticulous attention to detail, provide both aesthetic appeal and practical utility. The Sian S stamp, a mark of origin or possibly the artisan's signature, adds an element of historical intrigue and cultural significance to the piece. As an export item, this kettle serves as a tangible link between the Sian region and the broader world, illustrating the interconnectedness of cultures through trade and craftsmanship.

Good condition overall. No stand.
