A striking Victorian-era coffee pot that features a vibrant, heavy base metal body expertly enameled inside and out. The exterior showcases a charming motif of apple blossoms set against a delicate pink background, beautifully detailed with an intricate "chicken wire" or honeycomb pattern.
The piece retains its original silver-plated elements, including the base, handle, hinged lid with a ribbed finial, and a hinged spout designed to retain heat.
The underside bears the stamped antique Manning, Bowman & Co. hallmark—featuring a bird perched over a globe with the letters "M B & Co." under the word "PATENTED"— confirming its status as a premium piece of historic graniteware.
MEASUREMENTS
8 ¾ in (22.2 cm) long x 4 ¾ in (12.1 cm) diameter x 10 in (25.4 cm) tall. Weighs 2 lbs 11.9 oz.
CONDITION
The outside enamel is in good condition with no cracks, chips, or breaks. The inside glaze is stained from coffee. There are moderate losses and wear to the silver-plated metal, as well as minor dents in the metal. The hinges are still strong. The metal on the base metal shows burn marks and wear from use, and the underlying copper on the base is visible in places.
A highly decorative example of Victorian utilitarian art, combining robust craftsmanship with elegant period design.
