Picquot (pronounced Pea ko) Ware was produced by Burrage and Boyd in England. 

The company was founded in Northampton in 1932.  The company became more successful they looked for additional products

 which could be made using the technology they had in casting, machining and finishing.

The decision was made to diversify into  high class tableware.

During development it was identified that an alloy called Magnaillium 

(Maganese and Aluminum) 

could be polished to provide a silver like finish.

In 1939 the first item designed was a 3 pint kettle. During the war the factory was used for ammunitions and so it was only in 1947 that the kettle went into production and at the same time a teapot was introduced.

 This was followed in 1949 by a selection of other items.

​

Picquot tableware is cast in one piece to ensure no leaks occur. 

It's spout is designed for smooth non-drip pouring. 

It has milled lid hinges to ensure a perfect fit

 and beautifully styled handles made from sycamore.

 It is the combination of polished metal and wooden handles 

that make it a classic design icon​

This coffee pot is a great find for collectors or anyone looking for a vintage piece to add to their home.
