A silver and ivory coffee pot sits on a flared, floral-carved base. Its pear-shaped body features relief scenes of buildings and foliage surrounding a central monogram. To our right, a long, curved spout ends in a bird head, while a geometric handle to our left, accented with ivory rings, is topped by a ram head. A hinged lid with a decorative finial completes the vessel. Intricate floral patterns cover the textured silver surface.
