Description from the seller
Antique Danish Silver Coffee Pot – Copenhagen 1863 – HALBERSTADT Mark – 503.75 g
An elegant antique Danish silver coffee pot featuring the historic Copenhagen three-tower hallmark with the number 63, indicating the assay year 1863.
The underside bears a clearly visible HALBERSTADT stamp, along with two additional oval hallmarks. The exact attribution of the HALBERSTADT marking has not been conclusively established.
This beautifully crafted coffee pot is a fine example of traditional Scandinavian silverware, combining graceful proportions with delicate engraved decoration.
Design and craftsmanship
The coffee pot features:
* An elegant pear-shaped body with a rounded base
* A long, gracefully curved pouring spout
* A decorative scroll-shaped handle
* A hinged domed lid with an ornamental finial
* Finely engraved floral and scrolling patterns around the neck
* A Gothic-style monogram engraved on the front
* A handwritten inscription apparently dated 10 November 1863
The decorative details and classic proportions give the piece a distinctive historical character.
Hallmarks and historical details
The underside bears several interesting markings:
* Copenhagen three-tower hallmark, with the number 63, indicating 1863
* HALBERSTADT rectangular name stamp
* Two additional oval stamps, including a possible assay master’s mark
The Copenhagen three-tower hallmark is traditionally associated with Danish silver and a minimum historical silver fineness of approximately 826/1000.
The object has also been tested for silver using an acid-testing method. Its exact silver fineness has not been independently established by XRF analysis.
