A stunning vintage mid-century silver-plated coffee pot / tall teapot manufactured by the premier Australian silversmith brand Ranleigh. Features an elegant, heavy-gauge baluster body with a beautifully integrated hinged lid topped by a classic ornate pineapple hospitality finial. The graceful curved spout is detailed with embossed floral reliefs, complementing a heavily decorated Rococo-style scroll handle complete with its original black hard-rubber heat insulator rings. Stamped with the authentic "Ranleigh" maker's mark on the base. A magnificent addition to a high tea service, holiday dessert tablescape, or a collection of fine vintage Australiana silverware.
Condition:
Good vintage condition overall. The heavy silver plating remains bright, highly reflective, and beautifully intact across the body with no deep dents or structural damage. The lid hinge mechanism is perfectly smooth and tight. Currently displays a heavy, gorgeous dark natural aged tarnish and tarnish patina that beautifully accentuates the ornate handle and spout details (can easily be polished back to a high bright mirror finish with silver cream if preferred). The interior is clean.
Dimensions: Approx 22cm x 9cm (21cm spout to handle)
