ISKANDAR™
Silver 925 teapot
5 cups
This silver 925 teapot is a triumphant tribute to Alexander the Great (Iskandar in Persian), who sowed the seeds of Greek art, architecture and philosophy wherever his conquests led him.
Mariage Frères has combined the oblong shape of this teapot with eloquent emblems of the vast Hellenistic empire, in a late-nineteenth-century orientalist style.
Imperial and imperious, this rare and delicate teapot cuts across fads and fashion-it is a precious item that speaks of dreams and exoticness, conquering the world through its beauty.
