Manufactured and plated by Reed & Barton of Taunton, Massachusetts, this piece features sharply faceted sides, a stepped octagonal base, gracefully curved spout, and a domed lid topped with a classic finial. The proportions are substantial yet balanced, giving the piece strong visual presence whether displayed alone or incorporated into a silver service collection.

The interior base is clearly stamped:
“REED & BARTON / 3690 / COFFEE”, confirming authenticity and pattern number.

A functional serving piece (after polishing)
A decorative accent on a bar, sideboard, or étagère
A statement vessel repurposed as a vase or display object
