1900 - 1920
Description

A Gorgeous Pair of Antique Edwardian Silver Plated Café Au Lait Pots with softly rounded bodies and elegant pouring spouts. Each pot is raised on four small feet, giving a poised, traditional table presence.

The long black ebony turned handles are designed to stay cooler in the hand. The hinged lids are neatly fitted and topped with ebony finials that echo the handles for a cohesive look – circa 1905.

* A matching pair of café au lait pots brings instant ceremony to a coffee service or these pieces also work well for hot chocolate and warmed milk.

Diameter across top: 3 1/2" (approx. 9cm)

Total weight: 775g

Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Cafe au lait pots are paired serving vessels specifically designed to hold hot coffee in one pot and warm milk in the other, allowing both to be poured into a cup simultaneously. Popularised in France during the 18th century and later adopted across Europe during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, these pots were essential components of formal breakfast sets.

Edwardian examples were primarily crafted from sterling silver or high-grade silver plate over nickel or copper. To prevent heat conductivity when handling hot liquids, craftsmen frequently fitted them with carved wooden, ebony, or bone handles positioned at right angles to the spout.

Authentic Edwardian pieces typically feature British silver hallmarks indicating the assay office, silver purity, makers mark, and date letter between 1901 and 1910. Design hallmarks include refined proportions, delicate scalloped rims, slender spouts, and turned wooden side-handles.

These historical serving vessels function exceptionally well as decorative accents on a dining room sideboard, breakfast buffet, or open kitchen shelving. They can also be repurposed as individual flower vases or displayed as part of a curated silver tabletop collection.

Clean silver components using a soft cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver polish, taking care to avoid harsh chemicals that can strip electroplating or damage wood. Wooden handles should be kept dry and periodically conditioned with mineral oil or natural beeswax to prevent splitting.
