Painted Tinware Gooseneck Coffeepot with Red Ground

Circa 1818-1853: Measuring approximately 10.5" in height, this painted tinware coffeepot with bright red ground is attributed to the Filley shop in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the gooseneck coffeepot was a popular form and where more quantities of red tinware (referred to as redware by the Filleys) were manfactured than at their shops in Connecticut and New York. Because of the relative scarcity of redware, the vibrancy of the red paint, the visually graphic row of repeating yellow leaves and fruit, and the sculptural beauty of the tall coffeepot, this is an extremely desirable piece of painted tinware. This coffeepot is completely original with no paint touch ups or repairs and typical wear to the paint.
