Dog's Head Spout On Silver Coffeepot in Jackson Service

This image shows the detail of the spout of a neoclassical silver coffeepot made by French silversmith Jacques-Henri Fauconnier before 1833. It was part of a 130-piece silver service that President Andrew Jackson purchased from the Russian minister to the United States, Baron de Tuyll.
