Hi and welcome to the forum,

Your tea pot was made by GebrÃ¼der Glaser in Hanau. The firm was founded in 1883 and a merger took place in 1914, so I presume that your tea pot was made between 1883 and 1914.

So is it Sterling silver or Silver plate? Thank you so much for all your help. I have so much to learn.

Hi again,

The fineness is 800/1000 pure silver and sterling is 925/1000.
