Silver-plated coffee pot with Aesthetic Movement design PH47

This coffee pot appears to be from the Victorian era, specifically from the Aesthetic Movement period (circa 1870-1890). The piece features Japanese-inspired decorative elements including palm trees and pagoda motifs, which were highly fashionable during this period when Western decorative arts were heavily influenced by Japanese design following the opening of Japan to Western trade.

This type of decorative silverware would have been prized by middle and upper-class Victorian households as both functional items and status symbols. Collectors of Victorian silverplate and Aesthetic Movement pieces are particularly drawn to these items for their distinctive ornamental style and historical significance. The combination of exotic motifs and quality craftsmanship makes it appealing to collectors of Japonisme-influenced decorative arts.
