Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: This is a beautiful and substantial antique pewter coffee pot which would display very well in your collection. Condition: This pot is in very good condition. It has no breaks, cracks, or repairs. The hinge, which may have been partially repaired, is intact, with some wiggle, but still works as it should. The piece has some scratches throughout and several dings throughout the piece but especially on the sides. These can be seen in the photos but they truly do not affect the quality, beauty, or condition of the pot. The handle is intact, while the finial has a large ding on the edge on the back due to it hitting the handle when the lid is opened. Be that as it may, the lid and finial are intact and look great. Other than that, the piece is clean and beautiful and would probably benefit from a good cleaning, but we leave that to the new owner's discretion. This piece has a nice shape and look which makes it a great piece to display in your collection. Please view photos for additional condition information.
