When Henrietta’s Grandmother passed away the family’s silver items were divided between the siblings – most of which still sit in a closet waiting to be burnished back to life. Most pieces that Henrietta presented were not solid sterling silver, but in fact merely silver-plated. This unassuming teapot was different. Purchased by a great aunt, gifted to Henrietta’s mother in law, and passed on from a sister in law that doesn’t like to polish silver, Henrietta lucked into a teapot and its matching set forged by artist Tango Aceves of Taxco Mexico. Evaluator Vanessa Lyon fell instantly in love with the piece and valued the entire set between $4,000 and $5,000.
