A pair of vintage silver-toned metal pots with decorative detailing, shaped handles and curved spouts. The taller, narrower piece appears to be a coffee pot, paired with a shorter, wider teapot. Each stands on a pedestal base and has a hinged lid, while their different proportions give the pair a pleasing balance when displayed together.
Kept in a closed cupboard in a manor house for over 50 years, the pair makes a distinctive display for a dresser, sideboard or decorative table arrangement. The metal surfaces show marks and extensive areas of dark discolouration. Interior discolouration is also visible in the photographs.
Included: two pots, sold together as one set.
Material: silver-toned metal. The pieces are not solid silver; the precise metal and finish are unconfirmed.
Condition: surface marks and extensive areas of dark discolouration, with discolouration also visible inside. Please inspect the photographs, including the interior views, for the condition of each piece.
