Wedgwood creamware child’s coffee pot and cover, circa 1800-10. Baluster-form body with a straight spout and loop handle, cover with a ball knop, and each piece with an iron-red feathery foliate border between brown lines, the rims and edges outlined also with brown lines, the glaze with a slightly bluish tinge, impressed "WEDGWOOD" mark. 5 in. h.
