1880 REED & BARTON AESTHETIC MORNING GLORY LG. COFFEE TEA URN SAMOVAR 95 FLOZ.The Reed & Barton story began in 1824, when Isaac Babbitt created a new metal alloy - "Britannia metal" - in his Taunton, Massachusetts pewter shop. Babbitt joined forces with craftsmen Henry G. Reed and Charles E. Barton to produce this innovative, higher quality pewter ware. When Babbitt encountered financial difficulties, Reed & Barton offered to take control and began manufacturing products under their own names. The fledgling company's goods reflected uncompromising standards of excellence, starting with its initial silverplate products and extending to the exquisite sterling silver creations that resulted from the silver discoveries of the late 1800s.The Morning Glory flower symbolizes spiritual awakening, enlightenment, and rebirth. Its trumpet-shaped blooms resemble a trumpet that is used to wake up people from their slumber. This flower reminds us to awaken to our higher selves and to connect with the divine. It also represents the idea that every day is a new beginning and a fresh start, just like the Morning Glory blooms anew every day. American aesthetic massive piece in excellent condition.
