Sterling Silver Coffee Pot by Krider, Philadelphia Ca. 1880

United States Ca. 1880

A sterling silver coffee pot made by Peter L. Krider of Philadelphia in the late classical manner. It has a cast flower and leafage finial, 4 decorative molded bands and inverted curved panel body. It is marked on the bottom “STERLING” and “PHILADA” with the three marks for Krider of a lion, K and a crown. It weighs 36.1 troy oz..

At the time of posting I also have an open sugar matching the Ball, Tompkins and Black pitcher.
