Filter coffee pot
Description
Made around 1800, this pot is an early example of the filter coffee pots made of silver, which are rare in Basel. The filter top can be removed and the lid placed on the pot after removing the filter. This resembles a teapot with the low-set spout. This type has the advantage that it could be used for both types of beverages.
