The chocolate pot is ridged in a beige color with more of matte finish and it has hand painted dandelions on it. The dandelions are hand painted as are the leaves and stems. The leaves and stems are outlined in gold. The lid doesn’t seem to fit very well, although it is an exact match

Also, The gold on the handles is oddly worn like someone was scrubbing them with something with a rough texture.

The pot measures 3.75 inches across and is just short of 8.00 inches tall.8 7/8 inches tall to the top of the handle.

Both the front and back are pictured as they are completely different. The makers mark is also shown along with a close up of the handle wear. The gold on the handles is oddly worn like someone was scrubbing them with something with a rough texture. The wear reminds me of wood that has been painted and then rough sanded. I don’t know if it was done on purpose for effect, of if it’s age related where or damage.

The pot has several markings on it. The T&V Mark for Tressemanes & Vogt is dated 1919. There are also three numbers written on it, but I am not sure what those numbers refer to. None of the numbers seems to correspond to a pattern name.

The pot has no chips, cracks, crazing, or other damage. The inside is clean with no residue or staining or signs of use. The gold trim is a bit messy and shown. See less
