LOUIS, MO," circa 1876, a china coffeepot with dogwood pattern; two Rockingham teapots with cast iron handle; and a lead-and-manganese-glazed redware pitcher. Ovoid teapot unmarked. All others stamped with Fridolin Schifferle maker's mark on lower band. These are "Culinary Vessels" that Fridolin Schifferle, a St. Louis producer of tin and other metal work, patented in 1876, with the ceramic objects presumably being made at some local pottery for him to fit with tin. Taller Rockingham-glazed teapot with restoration to spout and hinge to lid broken. Redware pitcher with small chips and wear to rim. All in otherwise excellent condition with some light wear and light rust to metalwork. H (of tallest) 11 1/2".
