It has a design of pale pink and yellow flowers and blue and/or purple flowers and greenery. I have not been able to find a pattern name. The chocolate pot has great shaping in the porcelain with cut and uncut reticulated details and some remaining gold trim. It comes with the matching lid.


The chocolate pot measures about 5.25 inches across and it is 7.75 inches tall at the top of the reticulated section. It is 9.00 inches tall to the top of the lid.

The raised details are lovely and they continue on the bottom of the pot which I did not show, but may add pictures of. The reticulated detail is also repeated, but not cut out, on the pot.

Some gold trim is worn which is to be expected as this is likely from the late 1800s. The handle design and spout are lovely, but the lid, while it matches, doesn’t fit as tightly as I would expect. Every time I touch the chocolate pot, the lid wiggles.

There are no chips, cracks, or other damage. See less
