FAQs

A coffee biggin is a specialized coffee pot introduced in the late eighteenth century, featuring an upper filter or internal cloth container designed to separate coffee grounds from the liquid without requiring a separate strainer.

Nineteenth-century coffee biggins were typically crafted from electroplated nickel silver, sterling silver, or pewter, and frequently incorporated wooden, horn, or ebonised handles to insulate the user from heat.

Authentic period pieces feature electroplate makers marks or stamps near the rim or base, hand-carved wooden handles secured with metal pins, and period decorative details like reeded horizontal banding or gadrooned borders.

A silver-plated coffee biggin can be displayed on a sideboard, a kitchen dresser, or a drinks trolley, paired with contemporary ceramics or glassware to create texture and visual contrast.

Clean silver-plated items using warm water and mild liquid soap with a soft cloth, and apply a non-abrasive silver polish gently when tarnish appears to preserve the plated layer.
