Individual Coffee Pot c. 1800

This pewter coffee pot, crafted by Johann Traugott Böhme around 1800, is a fine example of early 19th-century craftsmanship. The pot's simple, cylindrical form is complemented by a domed lid with a decorative knob, while a wooden handle provides a comfortable grip. This piece, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a reminder of the daily life and domestic traditions of the time, showcasing the artistry and functionality of pewterware.
