"Tournai 1758, Louis XV Tripod Coffee Pot, Solid Silver"
Very elegant Louis XV period coffee pot in solid silver. On the bottom of the body are struck the two hallmarks of the city of Tournai (crowned T and crowned Tower) for the vintage 1758. The master goldsmith's hallmark is listed but not identified. It is often described as a dog's head in a medallion. The coffee pot is quite heavy and robust as goldsmiths with the Tournai hallmark very often are. It weighs 1160 grams.
