This pewter teapot has definitely lived a life — and it shows it proudly. Once a proper piece of table service with its acorn finial and delicate beaded trim, it apparently spent a little too much time cozied up to the back of a hot stove. The result? A gloriously irregular hole melted right through its side, leaving behind a jagged wreath-like edge that almost feels sculptural. The spout is still sharp and angular, the lid still hinges neatly, and the handle keeps its bold, faceted lines, but that missing panel transforms it from functional vessel to conversation piece. It’s part relic, part accidental artwork — a teapot that will never pour tea again, but has plenty of stories left to serve.
