Coffeepot 1745 - 1760

This silver coffeepot, crafted by Samuel Edwards in 1745-1760, showcases the elegance of 18th-century English silversmithing. The piece features a rounded body with a finely-wrought handle and spout, and is topped with a domed lid with a stylized knob. The simplicity of form, combined with the detailed craftsmanship, exemplifies the Rococo style that was popular during this period. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the "Coffeepot" is a testament to the artistry and functional beauty of silverware in the 18th century.
