Product Details

Seymour Mann Mid Century Insulated Teapot Ice Bucket Or Planter - Made In Italy The manufacturer marking identifies this item as a piece of mid-century barware from the "Pewtertone Olde Tankardware" line, produced in Italy and imported to the United States by Seymour Mann Imports. The Brand was a prominent New York-based importing company active in the mid-to-late 20th century. The Material: Despite the antique enamel appearance on the outside, the "Pewtertone" designation indicates that the decorative metal trim, handle, and base are made from a specially finished aluminum or alloy designed to mimic the dull, classic sheen of antique pewter without the heavy weight or maintenance. Function: While styled to look like a teapot, this specific insulated Seymour Mann design with a removable white liner was officially marketed and utilized as a stylized ice bucket or tabletop hot/cold server or repurpose as a planter.
