Coffeepot 1760 - 1775

Ernst Gottlob Borns' "Coffeepot," a silver vessel crafted between 1760 and 1775, embodies the Rococo style with its intricate floral and scrollwork design. The pot's distinctive, elaborately carved wooden handle adds a touch of contrast to the shimmering surface, further emphasizing the fluidity and elegance of the Rococo aesthetic. This piece, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of 18th-century silversmithing.
