Coffee Pot (above)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. Historic reproduction.
These pots were "serving pots"; coffee was never brewed in them. The coffee would be brewed in a large kettle over the fire, then transferred into these pots for serving at the table. Typically, the pot would be set on a brazier to keep warm. These pots were used in the same way a carafe is used in restaurants today. They are quite small, intended for the use of only a few people, and refilled as needed. Remember too, that coffee was served in small cups - not the mega mugs we are accustomed to today! Copper with tin lining. Sturdy hinged lid and hand turned wood handle. This is a very lovely piece, sure to make any coffee-break special! Dated: 18th century Origin: English. Materials: copper, tin, various woods as available. Dimensions: Large: 5" dia. base, 8"tall, capacity 5 1/2 cups. Small: 4" dia. base, 5 " tall, capacity 3 cups.
Large: $269.00
Small: $242.00
Chocolate Pot (above)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. Historic reproduction.
Chocolate was a favorite drink in the 18th century - as it is now! This pot probably would not have been set on a fire; rather, hot water would have been combined with the ingredients and then stirred with the paddle. The pot would have then been placed on a brazier to keep warm at the table. Hot chocolate was served in the same manner as coffee and tea, that is in small cups that were refilled (frequently, I imagine!). The muller is based on European styles.
Date: ca. 1740. Origin: English. Materials: copper, tin, various woods as available.
Dimensions: Large: 5" diameter base, 8" tall, capacity is 5 1/2 cups.
