Early Repouse Sterling Demitasse Set BY J.E. Caldwell

Silver

 

Enchanting and fanciful, this three-piece Demitasse coffee set is in excellent condition with no monograms, no damage or repairs. All pieces are marked Sterling 47, made by J.E. Caldwell of Philadelphia. Probably Circa 1889 or earlier. Magnificent flower, foliage scroll repouse covers all surfaces of the fluted coffee pot, sugar bowl and creamer, with medallions centered on each fluted panel. The coffee pot measures 9.25 tall and 6.25 handle to spout; the lid is hinged, the beautifully scalloped edge fits over the opening inside out and echoes the top edge scalloping on the other pieces; black discs insulate the handle from heat. The open-top sugar is 4 tall and 4 across, and would be practical for any number of uses. The little creamer is 4.5 tall and 4.5 handle to spout – both the creamer and sugar bowl are gold-washed inside. The repouse work is high quality; the set weighs. Coffee Pot 462 Grams which is14.85 ounces, Sugar bowl 193.5 Grams which is 6.22 ounces, Creamer 144.5 grams which is 4.63 ounces. This is such a fantastic set you won’t see another one like this.
