Coffee pot with filter top
Description
The ceramic pot and filter are decorated with reliefs depicting playing and quarreling putti. A round sheet of paper or a canvas cloth was placed inside the attached coffee strainer, which has quite large holes. This held back the coffee grounds in the filter attachment and prevented the coffee grounds from ending up in the pot.
