Another coffee pot... help w/date and maker please

Postby rynegold » Fri Apr 11, 2014 8:22 pm

I "think" it's Paul Storr.... but what date is that?? 1781? And as collectable silver goes, what period would you call this? Georgian? It's very heavy.

This is 1819 and it certainly appears to be Paul Storr's mark. Storr registered his first mark in 1793 and this version was not used until 1813.

Thanks Phil! As silver from that period goes, is this a common item? degree of collectability? I know Storr is collectable but what of coffee pots in general from this era? I ask about the popularity of Coffee back then in the other "coffee pot" thread and I guess this answers that question. I have two more pots to ask after that I'll try and post pix of soon.
