I love the design of this coffee pot. I have a collection of over 100 enamelware coffee pots which I decided to sell. The best part is that I have to photograph them which I've wanted to do for a long time. I thought it would be fun to make a series of posters.

Quite spectacular! That would present an interesting vector drawing challenge for anyone who’s sufficiently skilled to reproduce it convincingly.

Thank you! That is a vector drawing. I didn't use the photo. All done in Designer.

Very impressive work! What’s the story behind the strange lid? I found the “same” coffee pot online, but the handle on the top of the lid matched the handle on the side of the pot.

They had a lot of different variations. This one is a percolator so that is a glass top which was the hardest part to do and I don't think it is quite right yet.

I found it on Etsy, where it’s described as a teapot rather than a coffee pot. The asking price is over £60, with shipping from the US to the UK quoted at £50+, so I can safely say I won’t be buying it!

I was going to sell mine but I can't bring myself to do it. I think it is a beautiful design. I have another one that is a teapot which doesn't have a glass top. I use to boil water.

If you have over a hundred to sell I think you can reasonably allow yourself to keep a few of them.

I reworked this. I got to carried away with the gradients on the "beams" on the first version and I think I got the glass top looking a bit better. It will probably change again.
