Royal Selangor Melon Teapot LG

The Melon teapot is an exact replica of Yong Koon’s original, albeit updated with a mod con or two; the sweeping brass handles are wrapped in rattan to insulate against any heat transfer, and the entire teapot is given a brilliant finish to show off its lush, Rubenesque curves. Includes a fitted sieve. To acknowledge provenance, the 015111R teapot is stamped with Yong Koon’s circa 1885 - 1930 Yuhe Zuxi hallmark. Yuhe translates as brand name Jade Harmony, whilst Zuxi, attesting to superior material content, means pure tin. Space is available for personalisation.About the collectionThe exquisite proportions, subtle detailing and naturalistic charm of founder Yong Koon’s late 19th century melon-shaped teapot informs the heritage Melon collection in bright finish pewter.
