It’s a double teapot, with a division down the center with a compartment on either side, each with its own spout, and a loop handle over the top to facilitate the pouring of liquid in either direction. You might, for example, have tea in one side and milk in the other, or tea in one side and coffee in the other. Very clever and original idea. Another theory of the design of this double spouted teapot is that in the beginning of the 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century you were normally served tea using two separate kettles in Sweden, one with tea inside and the other with hot water to blend the tea. No matter what the original design idea was for this pot only your imagination and creativity set the limit for its usage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe teapot has a very beautiful organic shape with one of the spouts a little lower then the other with a smaller compartment, and gradually shaped bigger so the opposite spout and compartment for milk or water is larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStamps:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sverige (Sweden), GN (Gunnar Nylund)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade in the 1940’s – 1950’s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e The teapot is in overall nice condition, one micro nick (1 mm) to one of the spouts. Scratches and wear.
