Pictures! How to do?
Hi Robert1960. I recognise your name - maybe met on ebay? I have taken the pictures, but cannot see how to upload them to the site. Am I missing something, or am I just being stupid? Cheers, Jono.

use a site (for instance:...

Hi Jono

It used to be my eBay user ID
I've changed it now..
Any luck with the pictures- I'm curious too!

Pictures I think!

For what it's worth
Below's a link to a Christian Dell silver (900) teapot, marked with CD monogram. (Also, reference in text to silver plated examples).
If nothing else, proof he made teapots.
Good luck--

This would seem a triumph of form over function...
How does it feel in the hand to poor with?

Oops!
Make the pour with.

I agree with DC, interesting...
I agree with DC, interesting looks questionable use. Something a disciple of Cubism would pursue? Perhaps it's French of Chech?

That would answer my money worries...
...if it was a Christian Dell! Thanks for the link. Looks similarly made, but different in design. Need to find a list of marks somewhere! Cheers, Jono.

Well made
This teapot has been well made and designed. Feels good and solid, but not too heavy. I have attached photos of the lid and handle. Maybe somebody could recognise this type of design and attribute it to someone ... preferably with CD initials!!!

French Cubism?
Yes, it is that sort of style! Must have been designed by someone, but who?

Yes
I think probably french too
Here is a similar one that is also French

Nice
Interesting piece.
Art deco, cubisim, art nouveau, interestings periods we don't see much here on DA.
Fresh air on this neo-MCM-era.
On Wilson and Woof-woof questionable use, I could see that, and now that's shown the piece open I could add, that can see that's dificult to clean it inside, but provably cause I like the piece lot, I'll say:
Remember that this is a piece pre 'form over function' (art deco /pre/ modernism). So thinking on that I'd re-value the proto-racionalism they show. And much better than many Alessi pieces produced 100 years later that suerly (again many) works even worst.
