~ 19th Century Brampton Stoneware Baluster Coffee Pot ~
A 19th century (we think circa 1860 to be more precise) Brampton salt glazed stoneware baluster coffee pot and lid.
The well crafted acanthus scroll handle gives way a a beautifully flowing foliate scroll band, which goes around the entire top edge of the pot bar where the handle is positioned.
Below this is, on both sides, is an intricate applied relief decoration with huntsmen and hounds preparing to hunt.
The spout has a charming leaf wrapped spout.
The lid has three applied flower heads and a simple finial.
~ Dimensions ~
The pot has a height of 11.5 inches (29.2 cm), a width of 10 inches (25.4 cm) (from spout to handle) and an overall body diameter of 6 inches (15.2 cm). It weighs 1.95 kg and would hold a good few pints.
~ Condition ~
There is a chip to the base ring and several on the bodies ring where the lid sits.
It is free from cracks and the glaze is in good order.
