Coffeepot 1797 - 1800

This silver coffeepot, crafted by Christian Wiltberger between 1797 and 1800, is a beautiful example of early American silversmithing. The elegant form, with its bulbous body and a distinctive wooden handle, showcases the craftsmanship of the period. The delicate engravings and the eagle finial on the lid add an extra touch of sophistication. This impressive piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a testament to the skill and artistry of Wiltberger, one of the leading silversmiths of his time.
