This elegant vintage silverplate tilting tea kettle on stand is a beautiful example of decorative tea service craftsmanship inspired by the late Victorian era.
The piece bears the patent marking “Pat. Jan. 12, 1892”, referencing a design patented in the late nineteenth century.

Where Every Doll Carries a Story
About the Creator / Gallery
Meet Yana Lamar
I am Yana Lamar, a collector and restorer who turned a late‑found curiosity for dolls into a carefully curated gallery of antique characters.
I seek dolls that carry quiet stories — France, German, Japan, American - bisque girls, shy companions from attics and trunks — and give them a second life with gentle restoration instead of perfection.
In this online boutique you will not find mass‑market pieces, only a small rotating collection chosen for their personality, history, and the feeling they bring into a room.
