[0.800 SILVER] Germany - 19th/20th century - Neoclassical-Style Coffee Pot (Tableware, Silverware)
Weight: 582 g.
Dimensions: approx. 105 mm x approx. 155 mm in diameter
The teapot has a wide, flattened, almost spherical body set on a low, round base. The lower half is decorated with a dense band of vertical, semicircular ribs; above that, the surface remains smooth. The long spout curves gently upward and ends in a flattened spout tip. On the opposite side is a large, oval metal handle, insulated from the mountings by light-colored rings made of a heat-insulating material. The flat, round hinged lid has a radially ribbed, mushroom-shaped handle, also separated by a light-colored washer. The bottom is stamped with the “800” hallmark and small manufacturer’s marks.
The body was hammered out, the lower ribs were die-stamped, and the spout, base, and handle were soldered on. The lid is mounted on a hinge. The repetitive rhythm of the fluting organizes the heavy form and softens the transition to the base. The light-colored spacers are a functional solution that allows for a safe grip on the heated handle.
On the bottom of the jug are German silver hallmarks in the form of a crescent moon, a crown, “800” (800/1000 fineness), and an oval mark featuring a horse or a unicorn (a workshop mark?).
Condition as shown in the photos.
