This is a beautiful late Victorian to early Edwardian electroplated coffee pot produced by Richard Richardson at the Cornwall Works in Sheffield, likely dating between 1880 and 1910.
Key Details on the Marks:
- Maker's Mark: R.R (Richard Richardson) inside a shield.
- Location: Sheffield.
- Material/Quality: Marked EPNS (Electro-Plated Nickel Silver) or E.P.N.S., indicating a silver-plated item rather than solid sterling silver.
- Handle: The scroll handle is beautifully wrapped in braided wicker/rotting, which originally served a functional purpose—insulating the user's hand from the heat of the hot beverage inside.
- Date / Pattern Mark: The right shield often displays a registry or pattern number or a founding date style like 1796 (which represents the company's historical lineage or establishment reference rather than the exact year the individual piece was made). Most pieces bearing this specific stamp date from the late Victorian to Edwardian era (late 19th to early 20th century, c. 1890s–1910s).
