Coffee maker
The coffee maker is complete. It is pear-shaped. In profile, the wall is swollen, topped by a rounded shoulder and tapered neck. The rim is swollen and folded in on itself on the outside, with a flat top. The spout is triangular with a flat top. At the bottom, the wall curves towards the rounded base. The object rests on three feet arranged in a triangle. The legs are made of a long, flat, curved stem, the lower end of which is folded in on itself; the stem is fitted with a flattened, oval-shaped head. Each head is pierced by two aligned holes, through each of which a stem with a head is riveted to the lower part of the wall. The container has a bipartite, sloping side handle. It consists of a tapered sleeve, welded at one end to a triangular-shaped plate pierced by three holes arranged in a triangle, each of which is passed through by a headed pin riveted to the shoulder. A wooden stick is inserted into the other end: circular in cross-section, it has a domed tip, a tapered section of equal thickness and a flat knob before being inserted into the socket. The outer surface is copper-brown in color; there’s a copper-yellow vertical weld from the edge to under the bottom, where it joins another circular weld. Around the edge of the plates holding the handle and feet, there is a burr of white metal, which could be lead or tin. The inner surface appears to be covered with a thin layer of a white metal, like pewter ; None, apart from the shape of the container with its riveted feet.
