Overview
A vintage silver on copper coffee pot with a classic pear-shaped body on a round pedestal foot. Vertical fluting wraps the lower body, and the domed, hinged lid has matching fluting with a turned finial on top. A tall gooseneck spout rises from one side, and a curved handle with leaf-scroll detail at the top balances the other. The silverplate has worn in places, showing warm copper tones through the soft silver-gray finish. It suits a sideboard, buffet, shelf or kitchen display.
Background
Silver on copper coffee and tea services were widely made by American silverplate companies through much of the 20th century, often in classical shapes like this one. The underside is stamped with a round mark reading "SILVER ON COPPER" and "DOUBLE PLATE" around a crest with the letters "N.Y." The maker's name does not appear in the mark. The handle, spout and finial are all metal.
Condition
Vintage condition with wear to the silverplate. There are worn patches showing copper on the body, lid, handle and foot, along with tarnish, scratches and small spots of green oxidation on the foot. The interior is discolored. There are no significant dents. The hinged lid opens and closes properly, the finial, handle and spout are all intact, and the pot holds water. Please see all photos.
Dimensions & Weight
The coffee pot is 9.5 x 9 x 5.5 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 1 lb 13.8 oz.
