This Blossom teapot required me to carve a new ivory (pre-ban) handle to replace the rotted original. I also removed the dents, rounded the spout opening, and hand finished the pot.

Congratulatuons on what looks like a fabulous job.
How long have you been smithing?
An amazing piece is it not?
An easy job? What was learnt about Jensen's work in doing your restoration?
I think they call it the 2D.
Thanks for the compliment!
I've been smithing since high school - 37 years. Check out my Web site: http://www.hermansilver.com
It was a fairly easy job, but very time consuming.
Jensen silversmiths are fantastic. Their finishing department is equally amazing.
I have had a brief look at your site, enjoyed the video and have bookmarked the glossary for future reference.
Not many people on CW seem to be aware of 'silver'. I'm not sure why.
Thank-You for adding this, very helpful.
Please feel free to contact me if you can't find answers to your questions on my Web site: http://www.hermansilver.com
Wonderful piece, amazing resto!! Thanks for sharing...
You are a true craftsman.
Thank you all for the kind compliments! I love what I do and can't wait to get to the workshop in the morning. I hope your lives are just as fulfilled.
You are a good restoration expert it looks like, I will have to see your website, this is a gorgeous piece, I like them, but seem to be priced through the roof now for a teapot as fine as this one is. Magnificently beautiful !~
Another hearty thank you for the the additional compliments. Please let me know if I can answer any silver-related questions you may have.

Really nice work on this piece!
Speechless. Thank you!
Thanks to all of your heartfelt comments.
Beautiful!...:-)
