This silver plated coffee pot was also recently purchased at an Antiques Auction House and again I wasn’t able to get any information on its history. It’s easy to dismiss this as an overly ornate 20th century reproduction, but I’m hoping there’s more to this item?
The details: copper is the base metal, the handle’s insulating rings are aged, yellow bone(?), there’s no makers mark off any kind, the floral finial is screwed on and the pot appears to be off a quality construction.
Having researched solid silver coffee pots with a similar style and engravings, they appear to be dated between early 1840s to the 1880s. From the photos and details I’ve supplied, what are your thoughts… is it genuine and what age and make would you good folk guess at?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
