Royal Worcester England Evesham 4-Part Side Handled Bone China Coffee Biggin Drip Pot with Strainer.

This is a very unusual drip coffee pot by Royal Worcester of England in their most popular Evesham pattern. 

Consisting of two sections and four parts--a tall two-handled drip, a ceramic drip, the coffee pot and the lid (which fits both the tall drip and coffee pot) --this 32-ounce coffee pot also includes an internal porcelain guard to keep grounds from blocking the spout punch holes.  

Note: The ceramic drip does not fit into the coffee pot itself, only atop the tall drip.

How does it work? Hmm....  We are not so sure and will leave it to the drip pros: There is a ceramic filter beneath the lid with larger holes. Coffee grounds are supposed to go into the larger drip which filters the grounds through smaller holes for a trickle effect, thus resulting in a richer coffee. Does one install a filter within the large filter to catch the smaller grounds that pass through? We leave the figuring out to you!

Why not use this pot to infuse tea leaves with an added lemon or healthier herbs (how about adding a cinnamon spice stick), or stack large coffee filter packs for a unique, stronger taste? Just a suggestion.

Patterned in colorful red cherries, blue berries, orange kumquats, nuts, wheat and one large, veined leaf, this distinctive bright white porcelain teapot adds more surprise with a 90-degree side handle. How distinctive can this teapot get?

Definitely a conversation piece.

The clean underside has the Royal Worcester, Made In England, Fireproof mark with the words "Shape 1 Size 6".
