ANTIQUE CHOCOLATE POT FINDS A HOME

Isn't it fun to find a treasure on an antiquing venture......



This Chocolate Set was made in Germany
and it seems I have seen quite a few from the 1940's era that are from Germany.



Recently we set out for some of our favorite antiquing spots in Denver, Colorado and were thrilled to find that the huge mall on Broadway was having a sale.....



As many of you already know, the spout is what attributes this piece as a Chocolate Pot and not a coffee or teapot.....by the way, the vendor called it a "coffee" which often is a common mistake.

There were 3 demi sized cups and saucers - probably the 4th was broken!

    I love the pattern. It was new to me that the spout is different for the chocolate pot. I wish you a great week! Zinnia

    Hello Bernideen
    The chocolate pot and cups were a great find, and pretty too!
    Now I know it is the spout that determines the purpose.
