This elegant Reed & Barton silverplate coffee pot, pattern No. 3690, dates to the early 20th century and showcases a refined octagonal, architectural form characteristic of late Edwardian to early Art Deco transitional design.
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.
This coffee pot works beautifully as:
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
Materials & Craftsmanship
Silverplate over base metal, marked and numbered on underside. Substantial weight and well-balanced proportions reflect Reed & Barton’s legacy of quality hollowware production.
Condition
Good vintage condition with visible surface wear, including scratching, plate thinning, and areas of brassing consistent with age and use. Interior shows darkened patina from prior service. No dents or structural issues noted. Lid and handle remain secure.
Approximate Dimensions
Height: ~10.5 in
Width (spout to handle): ~10.25 in
