Description from the seller

Solid Silver Individual Coffee/Tea Pot (c. 1880–1910)

Elegant solid silver individual coffee or tea pot, crafted in high-grade .950 silver, richly decorated and fitted with a beautifully shaped wooden handle.
A charming personal-size piece, typical of late 19th- to early 20th-century European silversmithing.

This refined pot features:
High-grade .950 solid silver (stamped)
Ribbed / fluted decoration on the lid and lower body.
Finely beaded borders around the neck.
Applied frieze of floral garlands (Louis XVI influence).
Gracefully curved spout with clean pouring edge.
Ergonomic wooden handle with carved volute joint.
Hinged domed lid with matching fluted finial.
Interior with original silver surface and ready to use.

The piece is designed for one person, ideal for serving a single portion of tea or coffee or a hot chocolat.

Most likely origin:
Belgium, late 19th–early 20th century,
where many silversmiths used 950/1000 silver.
Belgian makers especially used “950” often.

The style, garland frieze, and wooden handle are all very typical for Belgium ca. 1880–1910.

Very good antique condition.
Normal light surface wear from age and use.
Lid hinge works perfectly; pot stands straight; interior clean.

Dimensions (approx.)
Height 12cm , 16cm wide and 10cm diameter
216 gram.

A refined and decorative piece of high-quality solid silver, perfect for collectors of European silver, period tableware, or as a stylish serving object.

This piece comes from the inheritance of an Antwerp family.
