A lovely collection of three antique silver-plated Georgian-style straight coffee pots. The two larger feature pretty engraved scrolling foliage details and dark wood accents to the handle and top to avoid burning ones hands. Note the base of the two larger are stamped with the Yeoman silver hallmark underneath and can hold two cups of coffee. Note the spouts on the larger pieces are different from each other.
The smaller features a simple design without engravings on the base and though it has a wooden handle, the lid is entirely silver plate with no wood accent like the larger two.
More about Georgian era:
"The Georgian era of British history is a period which takes its name from, and is normally defined as spanning the reigns of the first four Hanoverian kings of Great Britain who were all named George: George I, George II, George III and George IV. The era covers the period from 1714 to 1830, with the sub-period of the Regency defined by the Regency of George IV as Prince of Wales during the illness of his father George III. The definition of the Georgian era is often extended to include the short reign of William IV, which ended with his death in 1837. The last Hanoverian monarch of Great Britain was William’s niece Queen Victoria, who is the namesake of the following historical era, the Victorian, which is usually defined as occurring from the start of her reign, when William died, and continuing until her death."
