Biographical/Historical Information
The idea behind this ceramic pot is wordplay: a "Kaffeetante" in German describes a woman who likes to drink coffee, as part of the cultural practice of afternoon coffee and cake. This playful ceramic was not necessarily mass-manufactured, but may have been produced on commission by the family.
