Good coffee, beautiful design and time to enjoy them—some pleasures never grow old.

Dating to approximately 1910–1920, this handsome Liberty & Co. Tudric pewter coffee pot combines a beautifully hammered body, flowing silhouette and intricately woven, cane-bound handle. Supplied with its own lovely velvet gift bag, it makes a thoughtful present for a coffee enthusiast, Liberty collector or lover of distinctive antiques.

Standing approximately 20cm tall, with a marked capacity of 1½ pints—around 850ml, it has a softly lobed body rising into a gently waisted neck, beneath a domed hinged lid with a warm wooden finial. Long vertical ribs lend elegance to its shape, while the hammered pewter catches the light with a mellow, silvery glow.

The honey-coloured cane adds warmth and texture, with particularly attractive decorative weaving along the back of the handle. This is a piece to admire from every angle.

The base is clearly marked “Made in England”, “Tudric”, “01385” and “1½ Pints”.

A century on, the invitation is the same: stay for coffee

A leisurely breakfast, a conversation across the kitchen table, the final course of a good dinner: the rituals surrounding coffee have an enduring appeal.

Imagine this pot taking pride of place on a breakfast tray, beside your favourite cups, or bringing a touch of Liberty style to a contemporary coffee corner. The warm woven cane and softly gleaming pewter look beautiful alongside modern ceramics, natural linen and polished wood.

It would be equally at home on a country kitchen dresser or a contemporary sideboard. With the lid open, a few dried stems make an attractive seasonal display; a removable watertight liner allows fresh flowers to be arranged while protecting the interior.

Liberty and the art of living beautifully

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Liberty & Co. helped bring adventurous design into the home. Its celebrated Tudric pewter range transformed familiar household objects into pieces with artistic presence, combining practical purpose with expressive shapes and tactile detail.

Art Nouveau means “new art”. Flourishing around the turn of the century, it drew inspiration from nature—curving stems, unfolding flowers and flowing organic forms. Alongside it, the Arts and Crafts movement championed craftsmanship, the beauty of materials and thoughtful design in everyday life.

This coffee pot brings those influences together beautifully. Its gently swelling body and elongated ribs suggest natural growth, while the hammered surface and woven cane invite a closer look. The pleasure lies in the shape, texture and small details that make an ordinary household object feel special.

More than a century later, that approach still resonates: choose things carefully, enjoy their beauty and give them a place in your home.
