Matte Blue & Fancy Gilding Coffee Pot

This is a nice little coffee pot made by Nymphenburg in the early 20th century.A really nice piece from this period with a perfect blend of a superb shape with a matte blue ground color and lots of superb tooled gilding. A nice color combo for sure! I always really like the matte ground colors but they are so rare that one does not see them often. I think they look much better with the nice gilding than a shiny ground color. The foot, spout, top and handle are done in shiny gilding. The handle is in the shape of a swan. The pot is 5.875 inches tall including the handle, 4.5 inches from handle to spout with a diameter of 2.75 inches. It is marked with the under glaze green shield mark with the word Nymphenburg underneath as well as a hard to see impressed shield mark, some numbers and two lines. The pot is sadly lacking its lid and there are some nibbles to the spout but it's still a great piece to look at and maybe someone will spend the money on making it a new lid and fixing the nibbles. It's a great example that one really never sees. I also own a few other pieces from this set I will add to the site. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
