Dingwall, DSO through The Art Fund Coffee pot with a cover decorated with little flowers in purple and a wavy ribbon. The coffee pot is part of a type of porcelain produced more specifically for everyday use. The simplification of the shape of the handle and the pouring spout suggest a date around the first quarter of the 19th century.
