About Candie Expertise I can answer questions about specific teas and their health benifits including herbals. I can help you find a specific tea or accessories that you are looking to purchase.
Experience I have an online tea store and have done extensive research on the subject for the last few years. I am the editor of the Tea catagory for dmoz and am very familiar with all the other tea sites. I write articles on tea for Suite101 and other publications.
Question I realize you specialize in teas and may not be able to help
me with my tea pot, but you're the closest I could get. I
have a tea pot made in Bavaria in the 1950's (I think). It sits
on a stand above its own little oil wick and tray. It also
comes with a matchbox holder. I'm not entirely sure what
kind of metal these items are made of - it looks silver, but I
don't think it is. Possibly silver plated. I'm not sure if you're
the person I should ask about this - but maybe you could
tell me who I could ask. Thanks for your time!
Answer I suggest an appraisal site to find out about your teapot. I have used http://www.instappraisal.com/action/public/home.html several times and have been happy with the information they have given me about my silver teapots.
