The Bachelor Coffee Pot is a vintage piece, likely crafted between 1936-1976 by Sanders & Blackband, a notable manufacturer based in Birmingham. It stands at approximately 100mm in height with a rim diameter of 46mm, featuring a distinctive woven rattan handle securely soldered to its body.
Constructed primarily from silver-plated metal, this coffee pot exhibits signs of both age and frequent use, evidenced by its natural tarnishing. The underside bears markings indicating its composition as EPNS (Electro Plated Nickel Silver) and quality grade A1.
Notable features include a hinged lid adorned with a scalloped edge and a finial atop, adding to its antique charm. The pot is designed with a straight spout for easy pouring, making it suitable for serving coffee or other hot beverages.
Throughout its lifespan, this piece has likely been a functional and decorative item, gracing households with its elegant design and serving as a vessel for brewing and serving coffee. While some may appreciate the patina of age and use, others may opt to polish away the tarnishing to restore its original lustre, depending on personal preference.
