Antique Wilcox Silver Plate Co. Coffee Pot / Tea Pot Aesthetic Period 1870's

  

This is for a unique Antique. Aesthetic Period decorated Tea Pot from Wilcox Silver Plate Company.

This antique piece can be a Coffee or Tea pot and measures: 12 inches tall x 9 inches wide x 5 inches deep. The pattern on the piece is of flowers and leaves with a bird. This Aesthetic Period designed piece is shown specifically on. Top with the handle and the 4 hoof styled feet on the base and decoration of the top of lid (leaves / cross) and all the leaves at the connections that also resemble winged bugs or leaves in a fan.

It is highly decorated when looking closely at the piece. The marking on the piece is not readable but it is from Wilcox Silverplate Company based on another piece I have listed that matches to a point... I put the info of the other item below and can see they don't completely match due to a previous refurbishing done on it and as to why not listed together - both are monogramed with the same name. Samovar listed that has same pattern... The makers mark is on the bottom of the tea pot of Wilcox Silver plated, HB, crossed mining hammers and a number - pattern 1 3 1.

The water kettle measures: 18" x 10" x 9. I also can see that the main part of the coffee pot was at some point changed or differently re- plated as the texture is different then what would have originally been and it is not shiny like the base and top. It was done to match the unpolished color of the piece, so do not polish as I believe the new part will not polish, I left it alone. All items are vintage and if more then normal age appropriate use / condition issues - then it will shown in the listing / pictures.

I may or may not know details but do spend time researching information to provide details the best I can and to pass along fair prices. I take all my own pictures in my home and as such try and get all the colors as true to correct as possible.

Please let me know if need any addition pictures or clarification on the pictures I have posted. Remember most items will show wear. Assume items are preloved and or vintage and such can have its own idiosyncrasies due to age alone and normal wear and tear. Remember vintage items have been used and will have small issues like surface scratches and age appropriate wear.

I will show any major issues in my pictures as they are part of the description. I STRONGLY believe in reusing and repurposing of mailing materials, thus your item maybe packed in a previously used box and/or wrapped with previously used materials.
