Pattern Name: Bald Eagle Pattern Category: Heraldic and Commemorative Object Type: Wares for Coffee and Tea Dimensions: Description:
This handsome coffee pot is printed in the Bald Eagle pattern. The maker is unknown. The shape is sometimes referred to as a dome topped coffee pot. The finial is referred to as a beehive finial. Note the smooth floral design of the spout, and the shape of the handle. Below is a similar coffee pot, with domed top and beehive finial, but a very differently shaped handle, and a spout that has a molded and ribbed design, and larger overall flowers.
Directory of British Teapots by Berthoud and Maskell identifies many of these teapots (and sugar bowls) as Larger versions of a modified London shape principally made for export, c. 1825-1835.
