Engraved Coffee Pot, 1855
Sold
Coffee Pot - Engraved decoration - London 1855 by Henry Holland - 29cm high; approx. 22.5cm long (handle to spout); 920g - AM/6862
This sumptuously decorated silver coffee pot is a sight to behold. With its fabulous all over engraved design (just look at the spout) and its four leaf feet, this coffee pot is topped off by a turban wearing Indian man complete with opium pipe! This figural finial is superbly detailed and gives a lovely oriental feeling to the coffee pot.
The body of the pot has two cartouches that remain free from engraving (no erasures), the handle is fitted with heat insulators and the whole is in excellent condition. A very fine piece of Victorian silver.
