Handle of a silver teapotThis silver teapot, dated 1892, was made by R. & W. Sorley in Glasgow. It is part of a four piece tea set consisting of a teapot, a hot water jug, a sugar bowl and a milk jug. All the items in the set are fashioned in the shape of a thistle head. The thistle theme is carried throughout the design of the teapot. The raised hinged lid of the teapot has a knob in the shape of a thistle head. The teapot handle has a thistle complete with stem, attached to the surface. Domestic silverware was a matter of taste and status. The fashionable silversmiths of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee and Aberdeen produced a wide range of goods, affordable only by the reasonably well-off.
