I was always fascinated by this demure little silver set in Aunt Nen's china cabinet, and I thought she was kidding when she told me it was a coffee pot! It would barely hold one cup of the coffee my Momma drank! I now know that it was a Turkish Coffee Pot, and by the hallmark it appears to have been made in Birmingham, England by Barker Brothers. It may have come to Aunt Nen by way of Trinidad, where Aunt Clara and Uncle Shorty lived for many year. The pot stands a demure 5.5" tall, and is 3" in diameter at the base. The wooden (teak?) handle extends about 4" from the side of the pot. The cream pitcher is 2.5" tall and 2.5" in diameter, and the sugar bowl is 2.5" at the bottom and about 1.75" deep. There are 2 spoons that I'm including because they have the same hallmarks- not sure if they are part of the set or not. Regardless, they are about 3" long. It can be a cute and unique addition to your silverplate collection!
