Silver coffee pot with heater and stand
Coffee pot with heater and stand, owned by Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson (1758-1805).
Oval coffee pot with a domed hinged lid with an urn finial. The body has reeded edges and a wooden handle, and one side is engraved with Nelson's coat of arms with a baron's coronet and mottoes 'PALMAM QUI MERUIT FERAT' and 'TRIA IUNCTA IN UNO'. This unusual double version of the arms incorporates on the sinister side the Woolward arms of his wife Frances. On the other side is a baron's coronet and his 'San Josef' and chelengk crests. Inside the pot is a muslin bag with a silver rim. The coffee pot is on a four-legged silver stand with ball and claw feet, and there is a spirit burner with the 'San Josef' crest on one side and the chelengk crest on the other. The cover of this heater has two baron's coronets.
