Hand-Hammered Silver Teapot 6-12 Cup

The hand-hammered silver teapot large footed is the widest-bodied teapot in the hammered range — an oblate form where the horizontal diameter dominates the silhouette and the hammered band wraps around the prominent upper dome. Four curved cabriole feet lift the body cleanly. The combination of the wide, low-slung body with the hammered upper section and the cabriole feet is distinct from the other footed hammered teapots, which use narrower proportions, baroque feet, or three-foot bases.

Key Features & Benefits

• Wide Oblate Body: The body is substantially wider than it is tall — a low-slung form that gives this teapot a different visual weight from the taller models. The hammered band on the upper dome is particularly prominent because of the wide surface area it occupies.
• Wide Hammered Band: The hand-hammered dimple pattern covers a wide band across the upper body section, giving it more visual presence than the narrower bands on other teapots. The lower body below the band is mirror-polished.
• Four Curved Cabriole Feet: Gently curved cabriole feet lift the teapot with a classical form — less ornate than the baroque scrollwork feet of Hammered Silver Teapot Footed Design, more refined than the claw feet of Ornate Hammered Silver Teapot.
• Large Capacity Range: Large (6 servings / 650ml) through Extra Large (12 servings / 1.3L) — suited for both household use and group service.
• Domed Lid with Ribbed Finial: The dome lid carries a ribbed finial knob — a clean, slightly textured detail that connects visually to the hammered body without duplicating it.

The Artisan Story

Made by Kamal’s team in Marrakech’s medina. The wide oblate body requires careful hammer work during raising to maintain the even shoulder curve across the wider horizontal plane. The hammered band on a wide body must be worked consistently across a larger arc than on a narrower form, requiring more passes with the hammer punch to maintain even density.

Your Questions Answered

Q: How does this compare to the other footed hammered teapots?
A: Hammered Silver Teapot Footed Design has a narrower body with baroque scrollwork feet and a conical lid. Ornate Hammered Silver Teapot has a rounder full-body hammered surface with three claw feet and a dragon spout. This teapot has the widest body form with cabriole feet and a wide hammered band on the upper dome — a different body proportion, foot style, and texture coverage from both.

Q: Why correct the focus keyword from gold finish to large footed?
A: The original sprint note about gold finish was a planning error — this is a silver-plated teapot, not gold. The actual differentiators are the wide oblate body form and large-format cabriole-footed design.

Q: Is the wide body less practical for pouring?
A: The wider body does not affect pour control. The spout and handle proportions are consistent with the standard teapot range. The lower centre of gravity from the wider form actually increases stability during pouring.
