Featured Chocolate Pot

Pretty pot with petite rose, interesting leaf double handle, and petal feet. Unmarked. I'm thinking Germany? Approx. 9 3/8" tall. Any help appreciated!

 

that's rather elegant !!

 

That is truly stunning.

 

Beautiful,and for no reason I thought Russian?

 

I would guess French or German.

 

Ok, so I did a search for chocolate pots. The ones with a two part handle seem to be RS Prussia or Nippon.

So I take back the possibly French.

 

I'll go with German or Austrian. It does have some RS Prussia similarities but I think the bottom and finial are not quite right for RS. Usually I see that shade of green on Austrian items rather than German but I'll double check my RS books just to be sure.

Have found a couple being attributed to RS Prussia.
Do not know if that is correct or not, since it is a Pinterest page.

First one same foot and pattern
Go to far right, down 4 rows and then second one in
Also about 2/3 down are cups and saucers with same foot.
Color is represented as are the knobs
I'm voting RS whether it is Prussia, Tillowitz or Germany - I don't know.

Hi cluttered! I agree they look very similar on the foot shape until you turn them over. The RS feet tend to flow from the body rather than being attached to that circular ring as on the OP's example. I'm sorry I wasn't clearer on that. There is an RS chocolate pot on Etsy that shows what I believe is the correct bottom. I could be off-base on this though (wouldn't be the first time ). Don

 

Don - I'm not seeing what you are saying about the foot. The base seems to match the ones from the Pinterest page. As does the knob and the ribbed pattern at the top. The last one says it is marked. Unfortunately we don't have pictures of the bottoms to see if there are differences.
I don't have a RS Prussia book. I'm only using on line search.

There is the possibility it isn't RS Prussia, but rather RS Tillowitz, or RS Germany; and people have just attributed it to RS Prussia. Yet the last one says it is marked.

 

One of the benefits of insomnia is that it does allow for some in-depth sleuthing every now and then as the rest of the household sleeps.

Cluttered, your research, as always, is unassailable. I don't know how I missed some of the details you highlighted above. I started paging through Gaston and in her Collectors Encyclopedia of RS Prussia - Third Series, pg. 136, I found what I believe is the mold. It is identified as RS Prussia Mold 627. There may be a difference in the handle - I think the bottom extension on Ascot's example faded into the background.

It is difficult to find examples of Mold 627 on the web but I did turn up a syrup pitcher and will include that link below.

Sigh, unfortunately, my luck has run out. I hear the pitter patter of little paws both four and two legged so will see if I can get the house up and running.

Cluttered, thank you so much for being here and Ascot, thank you for providing such an interesting item.
