Silverplate coffee/tea pot by Wm. Rogers with ornate handle and finial
History
This silverplate coffee or tea pot was manufactured by Wm. Rogers, a well-known American silverware company that operated from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. The piece features classical design elements typical of the company's production, including the ornate handle, decorative finial, and elegant footed base. Silverplate tea and coffee services became popular in middle-class American homes during the early to mid-20th century as more affordable alternatives to sterling silver.
