Nice reflection, and that little wisp of steam is amazing.

Oh wow that really is great, it conveys such a cosy feeling (and I would really like a cup of hot tea with biscuits now!), even if the real highligh here is the smoke coming out the teapot more that the reflection, but I dont'care, I score according to the photo itself more that the strict following of the contest theme, therefore it's 9 for me.

Beautifully observed. The swirl of steam provides the perfect finishing touch to a very good composition.
Edit - back to bump to 9.

I was tempted to dismiss this as cluttered, but then Victorian era settings did have a lot going on. This photo evoked that sensibility for me and tells a story. Well done! I am glad I gave pause for your vision.
