52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2025: Week 50 (FAMILY HEIRLOOM)
Last week I wrote about tea parties.
This week I will write about a tea pot I received from my mother when I moved into my first apartment.
She told me my paternal grandfather had given it to her when she and my dad were first married, and she thought it should go to me.
While growing up I had never seen this tea pot because she had it stored away.
She shared she thought it might have value.
In all the years I have had this teapot I have never once used it for tea because I wondered if it was made of lead. I have always used it as a decoration.
I am unsure what metal it's made out of, but I am pretty sure it's not lead because it doesn't weigh enough.
I am also pretty sure it's not silver because I have never polished it.
The staining inside looks like tea staining to me, but it also might be rust.
It has no markings on it that I can find.
I have looked online occassionally over the years curious about value, but have never found one like it.
Keepsakes passed down!!!
This is why I search -
Cause ...
You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
