Description

This coffee pot is decorated with a plaque that depicts the ancient myth of the Birth of Venus.
A glossy white-glazed porcelain lid features a slightly domed circular surface that curves into a short vertical rim. A central handle rises from the middle, composed of a flared neck supporting a flat disk. A small, rounded tab projects from the rim's edge. The uniform surface is smooth and highly reflective.
