About MeThis is a fine example of the Scottish bullet or spherical teapot inspired by the shape of the balls used in the muskets and pistols of the period. The straight spout springs from the base in a feat of moulding. The large scroll handle with foliate thumb-piece appears inordinately large for the size of the body.
