Coffee Pot

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Coffee Pot, by an unknown artist, is a silver teapot with a square base. The base connects to a short, tapered, ridged foot. A bulbous body with a rounded shoulder sits atop, featuring a scrollwork engraving on one side. A curved, ebonized wood handle attaches to the left. A stepped, domed lid is topped with a finial. A long, curved metal spout protrudes from the right side. The pot is decorated with beaded trim along the lid, body, and base. The background is gradient gray.
