This teapot has been loved. To have this riveted from the inside demonstrates a great deal of affection for this teapot. This s an onld retsoration and it could be improved with moden techniques. However the retsoration is part of the history of this teapot and it adds to the charm.  This displays beautifully as the reviest have been hidden.
