Danish Teapot Kreiberg

[joho]

Hi All - This appears to be a Danish silver teapot dating 1888. But is it a teapot? Its wooden handle is at right angles to the spout and there is a removeable silver strainer which fits into the pot. Would be grateful for any information about it and the maker Kreiberg. Many thanks Joho.

Hi All - many thanks for the replies. Hose, it seems that the date of the teapot is earlier than the dates mentioned for Kreiberg in your link. Could there have been an earlier Kreiberg? Also, I see they were working in a town called Nykobing but also that there are a number of towns called Nykobing in Denmark. Do you know which Nykobing they were working in? Best regards Thanks John

Hi Hose,

Many thanks for explaining the document. Considering the date, he must have died a wealthy man.

Many thanks Hose. It seems there were a number of Kreibergs working in Nykobing from early 19th century. John
