Coffee Pot

2012-11-1 B

Baluster form silver coffee pot on pedestal foot. Stylized repeating leaf pattern around top and bottom of base, on rim, and on shoulder. Double scroll handle with ivory insulators. Hinged dome cover topped with finial case to resemble a basket containing four distinct flowers. A "D" for Deming engraved on one side of body. "J.D.P." for Julius Deming Perkins engraved on opposite side of body. This coffee pot is part of a five piece tea service given to Julius Demin gPekrins by his aunt Lucretia Deming for his marriage in 1868. The date of the piece, along with engravings and family tradition indicate that the tea service was likely owned by Julius Deming during his life and was then passed down in the family. Estate inventories in the Litchfield Historical Society archives indicate that Julius Deming owned various pieces of silver and a possible multi-piece tea service at the time of his death.
