ANTIQUE Coffee Urn / Samovar Centerpiece Server
Chinoiserie Blue Willow
Copeland Spode Circa 1880’s
Gold Trim

For consideration is this exquisite , super rare antique Samovar / urn or serving centerpiece by Copeland/Spode in a Chinoiserie Blue Willow pattern. It consists of a base, the huge serving tray and the urn.  The pieces come apart for better storage.    Originally this would have had a piece that fit under the urn to cover the iron rod, however it is stunning with flowers or greenery  around the base as shown.  Other ideas would be to wrap with a decorative ribbon.  This would make a stunning centerpiece for anything from a dining table to a wedding! It is perfect to display, or serve cookies, cupcakes, etc.

Measures 17.5”

Condition: one handle on the urn was broken as shown in photos.  No lid.

Marked on back as shown
