Overview
An antique silverplate coffee pot by Rogers, Smith & Co. of Hartford, Connecticut. The pear-shaped body sits on a round pedestal foot and has bands of fine engine-turned engraving. A scrolled cartouche on the front is left blank. Beaded rims run around the foot, the shoulder, the neck and the hinged domed lid, which is topped with a tall finial. The spout is cast with scrolls and leaves and ends in a small animal head. The cast scroll handle has two white insulator rings. It makes a fine centerpiece for a sideboard, buffet or mantel, or part of a tea or coffee display.
