A tall red coffee pot with a long, thin spout and a domed lid on a small hinge, set beside two matching cups. Pot and cups share a black edge at every rim.

The enamel on the pot is smooth and even in this view. The cups show small dark marks at their rims.

They stand on a plain wooden shelf hung on rope, against a pale wall, so the red carries the whole plate. The three pieces are studied as one set.
