Sterling China Teapot. 4" x 6.5” Restaurantware. Salmon pink body and white lid. Vintage. Made in USA. The teapot was made for American Export Lines, which was a cargo and passenger shipping company. This would have been used in the dining room of one of their ocean-liner passenger ships. The piece was probably made between 1964 and 1973. The company was in business from 1919 to 1977. Very good condition. Please see photos. There is a flea bite or spot where the color didn't cover on the base. Please see photos. For the lid, you need to circle it around when putting it on or off the pot.
