Anyone any idea if this teapot is real silver and if it's worth anything?
Thanks.

It is very pretty!! The EPBM refers to electroplated Britannia metaelectroplated Britannia metal, which means your piece is plated silver...a place that can test for actual silver may be able to scan it to tell you what metals it is mixed with. There are no places where I am that give value for silver plated as "scrap".
Where the value lies is in the piece (not the metal). Plated silver items are all over the place in value. The more ornate, the higher they fetch in markets like eBay.
I have seen tea pots sell I(ACTUAL SOLD prices, NOT asking prices) from as little as $10 to $75...depends on supply and demand. I am not familiar with the other marks, which are probably brand and year. Maybe one of the others on this site can give you more. Some makers are worth more than others.
Yours has a lot of decorations, which may put it in the higher bracket, depending on the maker and the condition.
I hope your daughter will get a lot of use out of the piece! These were meant to be loved and used!
Thanks for sharing your lovely!
Real silver would say sterling, ster or have a 925 on it. It is not silver It is silver plated.
