Vintage Celadon Green Coffee Pot with White Lid and Brass Finial
Viridian Eclection
The Piece
A vintage coffee pot finished in a soft celadon green, with a sculptural white lid and a warm brass toned finial.
The silhouette is clean and architectural: a long tapered body, an elegant curved handle, and a notably extended spout. The glaze is glossy, the green gentle rather than loud, and the white of the lid gives crisp contrast.
The body is glazed ceramic or porcelain. The finial is metal toned, and that single warm detail keeps the pale palette from reading as cold.
History & Provenance
The pot carries no maker's mark that can be identified, so the attribution rests on idiom and construction rather than on a stamp.
The form places it in the mid century modern language: tapered architectural body, elongated spout, sculptural handle. On that basis the period is given as mid twentieth century in style, and the dating should be read as stylistic rather than documented.
It was likely intended for serving coffee or tea, and it remains suitable for display.

Why It Belongs in Your Home
Even out of use it reads as sculpture, which is the argument for keeping it in view rather than in a cupboard. It adds shape to a surface and softens a room, and the restraint of the palette is what lets it sit beside almost anything.
It works on open shelving, a bar cart, a breakfast nook, or a dining room vignette, and it suits mid century interiors, vintage kitchens and collected tabletop styling.
For a designer or a dealer the appeal is the clean line and the soft color together, a combination mass market ceramics rarely hold.

All antique and vintage items are sold as described and all sales are final. Each listing includes detailed condition notes and photographs so you can make a fully informed decision. We encourage buyers to ask questions — about condition, dimensions, finish, provenance — before purchasing.
Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
