Know before you buy
This urn is a functional piece of art. It includes an interior percolator, meaning it is designed to brew coffee just as it would have historically, though it serves equally well as a sophisticated display piece.
The urn features a foliate crest with the inscription 'Merito Esperance,' which translates to 'Hope.' It is a traditional detail that adds to the piece's historical character.
As this piece is crafted from silver, it will require regular polishing with a high-quality silver cloth or cream to prevent tarnish and maintain its luster. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the delicate engraving.
The leaf-form finial is a decorative handle atop the lid that serves as a hallmark of antique English design. It provides a tactile, elegant grip for removing the lid while enhancing the urn's overall vintage aesthetic.
For best results with a traditional percolator, use a coarse-ground coffee. This prevents fine grounds from passing through the internal filter and ensures a clean, flavorful brew.
