London, 1974, pl 194, where the author discusses the origins of coffee-pots of this shape: At first, these were similar in shape to teapots, as is known by two silver pieces in the Victoria and Albert Museum. The teapot has a conical body and a short spout, whilst the oldest known silver coffee-pot Charles II Domestic Silver (Victoria and Albert Museum), ill. 13 has the same shape with only one difference: the spout is not opposite to the handle but at right angles to it. Both models were copied in Chinese porcelain from the beginning of the 18.
