Sheffield Silver Hotel Coffee/Tea Pot

Streamlined Sheffield England Thick Silver Plate Mid-Century Modern Hotel Grade Coffee, Tea, or Hot Water Service Pot for elegantly serving these hot beverages. The extra thick, usually triple plated, hotel quality plated silver (you can see the thickness in the pictures of the lip of the pot) was designed to hold in the heat of the beverage for institutional use, as well as be durable for hotel use. This pot weighs 2 1/2 lbs. it’s 12” tall (to the top of the ebony wood nob finial atop the hinged dome lid), 5 1/4” diameter at pot’s base (which has a 1/4” lip to protect surfaces from heat and to keep liquids inside hotter), and a 4” upper lip diameter. The elegant and rare straight spout is 8” long, streamlining down to a 1/2” diameter at spout’s end, so liquids served by a waiter never come out too fast. Black ebony wood handle is 9 1/2” in outer surface and very understatedly secured to pleasant silver plate attachments, that I’ve left some patina on. Condition is outstanding. 1960’s.
