A robust and imposing antique pewter beaked-spout pouring/can coffee pot from the transitional period between Louis XVI and Directory and Empire (circa 1790–1810).
The pot is characterized by a clean, conically tapering shank with a profiled stand ring and collar edge. Especially beautiful is the expressive beak spout, executed with fluted ribs at the base and a stylized bird-beak-shaped mouth. The curved lid is crowned with a typical tolled knob and closes with a sturdy hinge. Equipped with the original, ebony-stained hard wood handle with pronounced thumb rest, set in tin mounting feet.
Condition:
In good, authentic antique condition with age-appropriate signs of use. The tin retains a nice, silky patina. Normal scratches, slight surface irregularities and wear on the base appropriate for more than two centuries of domestic use. Hinge and handle are sturdy and functional.
