Antique French Sterling Silver Chocolate, Cream or Tea Pot, Ebony Side Handle
Elegant antique French sterling silver 8 3/4" chocolate, cream or tea pot with 1700s Georgian style turned or carved ebony side handle, Classical or Empire style decoration and double hinged lid! The true chocolate pots always had a smaller opening in the lid, normally under the finial as is the case here, into which a swizzle would be inserted for stirring. Not quite that old, this one bears the post 1838 French Minerve or Minerva hallmarks, the tiny number "1" within those marks designate it as being in .950 silver (95% pure and higher than the .925 standard for "sterling" silver). Silversmith marks are for Louis Coignet, Paris c. 1889-1893. No engraved monograms here, just a beautiful old French sterling silver piece in fabulous condition! Guaranteed to please, don't miss it!
FABULOUS antique French sterling silver is getting harder to find. Don't wait too long!
Very good condition. Some light surface marks and a faint dimple or two but no larger dents, no damage or repairs. A truly gorgeous piece! Holds up to 32 fluid ounces. See pictures for weight and measurements.
