Silver Coffee Pot HG Murphy

H.G. Murphy Solid Silver Coffee Jug – Hand Raised, Celtic Band, Falcon Studio London 1934

A superb and rare Arts & Crafts solid silver coffee jug, hand raised in London, 1934 by the celebrated silversmith Henry George (H.G.) Murphy at his Falcon Studio.

This elegant jug showcases Murphy’s masterful blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern design. The body is hand raised with a clean, classic form, enhanced by a Celtic interwoven band around the upper rim, beneath the lid, and repeated on the handle. The cubist-inspired spout adds a striking modernist detail, while the original ebony handle and beehive finial provide contrast and sophistication.
