Teapot spout (cast iron)

Picked this up for $5. I plan to clean and season it and put dried flowers in it. I couldn’t find many examples of this spout. The only example I found of a spout like this was early 1800s - but there may be other examples I missed.

It has a slight “pear shape” maybe putting it 1810-1835 from what I read??

The other picture is of the teapot spout I’m seeing more often.

Any thoughts?

 

Thank you! That search term was very helpful. I found this one which looks very similar. Unfortunately a large date range is given but it’s still nice to have a general idea.

 

Kettles have handles on the top teapots on the side - almost always

 

There are exceptions!

Aren't these humidifiers, meant to go on a wood burning stove. Not teapots or kettles.

 

YES!

 

That was the photo of what I was seeing in my searches. Mine is this one

 

So, @Tanya, just to clarify, for ME, YOURS is the one with the 1/9 on it, CORRECT??!!!!

 

I don’t see any numbers on it. The rusty one is mine ;-)
