Fabulous Circus Tent Coffee Pot
Lovely and rare large spouted pot with cover. This is the first time I’ve seen such a stunning circus tent art glass item…and I’ve been looking at glass for about 15 years. Fabulous peacock blue color. It is a full-sized coffee or tea pot, but could be used for any type of beverage.
Made in Italy in the Venetian style during the 1950s. The “circus tent” top on a large spouted pot is a rarity. The color is a stunning deep aqua blue. Vertical optic panels end in a soft heat finished ruffle. The handle is blown hollow (very unusual) and applied. The spout is blown hollow, of course, and applied. The lid matches the pot exactly. Pontil mark on seat of pot has been flattened with a shallow flower-like stamp.
Measures 13″ tall with the top on, 9″ tall without the top. From edge of handle to tip of spout measures 10″ wide.
