Coffee Pot and Jug, Handworked All Over. Interesting metal jug and coffee pot - beautifully executed all-over hand-worked engraved design of leaves and foliage in a scrolling art nouveau style design. The finial of the pot is a nut, and there are to further nuts on the handles of both jug and pot. The pot has heat-stop rings to the handle, possibly in wood. Not sure what the metal is - it is silver in colour, but very heavy. Possibly a polished leadless pewter, or a low grade silver. No maker’s marks anywhere, but the design is definitely from the East - probably Dutch East Indies. Coffee pot (or could be for tea or hot water) is 16.5 cm high and 19.5 cm handle to spout (6.1/2 inches and 7.3/4 inches). The jug is 10 cm high and 11.5 cm handle to spout (4 inches and 4.1/2 inches). Excellent condition.
