This elegant coffee pot is beautifully hand hammered with fruit detailing and a wood handle. It measures 10" from handle to spout by 10 3/4" in height with the lid, weighs 34.1 troy ounces, and bears hallmarks as shown.

Danish silversmith George Jensen set up his own silver business in 1904 in Copenhagen. Jensen's training in metalsmithing -- along with his education in the fine arts -- allowed him to combine the two disciplines and revive the tradition of the artist craftsman. Soon, the beauty and quality of his creations caught the eye of the public and his success was assured.
