This magnificent antique silver-plated hot water or coffee pot was made by the noted Meriden B Company of Connecticut, dating to the late 19th century (patented 1896). A substantial piece at 4.5 pounds, it features richly detailed Art Nouveau repoussé floral scrollwork, an ornate sculpted handle, beaded trim, and a beautifully shaped spout and finial.
The interior retains its original white enamel liner, commonly used in higher-end vessels of the period to retain heat and prevent metal-to-liquid flavor transfer.
The hallmark and patent stamps appear on the underside:
• Pat. June 23, 1896
• Pat. Nov. 3, 1896
• Model 292
• Meriden B Company (Made & Guaranteed)
This is a hot water pot / coffee pot / chocolate pot—Meriden produced these around 1895–1910.
A striking display piece for Victorian, Art Nouveau, or traditional interiors. Suitable for decorative use, dried florals, or as a collectible silverplate accent.
Dimensions: 10” height
Weight: 4.5 lbs
A beautifully detailed, museum-worthy piece from one of America’s finest 19th-century silverplate makers.
