its a solid-sterling-silver antique teapot, id be using it on a regular electric stove on the top burner
Putting any teapot, antique or not, metal or china/earthenware, over direct heat could damage it and possibly injure the person using it. You don’t boil the tea in the pot; you boil the water in a teaKETTLE or any pan and pour it over the tea leaves or bags in the pot. (It helps to pour a little boiling water into the empty pot, swish it around, and then pour it out, before putting in the tea and the rest of the water.)

It may change the color to yellowish or darkish silver, may not be as shiny any more. I wouldn’t do it.
