A person who really is a lover of nostalgic items, that which make you walk through the memory lane, would give due respect to an antique pot as a gift. Those who really value vintage preterit items, we should never overlook to buy these types of gifts for them. These preterit traditional memoirs, such as old espresso makers, are easily available in any gift shop. These gifts, like that of espresso maker are really welcomed by a true lover of art and culture although it may come in as not so expensive package. It was out of sheer chance that I found out that there was so much desire and admiration for such things. As I was cleaning the basement of our house, I came upon a coffee pot, which was really old and had an old ancient look to it. The earlier owner of the house from whom we had bought the house, while moving to another destination had left behind a large variety of different mixed items. Further, the house being very preterit, the antique pot thus found there, inevitably became a very demanding and precious possession for one and all. Especially, one near and dear relative of mine had her heart set on it the moment she had a glance of the antiquity. This one special relative turned out to be my sweet aunt .I had never thought that this antique pot, out of all other things would become such a lovable possession although I pretty much had an idea that things like coffee grinders, washbasins, sinks were her fetish. As I was not aware of this thing to be so precious I was thus on the verge to throw it off thinking it to be junk. The carafes that I have collected over the years to go, were nowhere in anyhow similar to this antique one. Neither was it made of glass nor did it have a proper handle. This carafe was quite a sight. Peculiarly made of stainless steel or any other metal i.e. alloy or brass, further the most enthralling fact was that it contained a handle which was projecting out of its side and thus gave it a very funny weird appeal. I was going to throw the item away but I decided instead to give it to my friend. She is very smart when it comes to these antique and vintage items. Even though I did not see any value to the antique coffee pot, my friend saw something different. I am glad that I listened to her because if not I would have tossed out something that did actually have some value to it. Contrived in Victorian fashion the coffee pot, which was lying under the shield of dust in the basement of my house, was silver in color. As a stamp of purity, the carafe was properly hallmarked proving it to have been made in London and further it being dated 1899 also forecasted how much ancient it was, all these details were however brought to my notice by my proficient aunt. The Goldsmiths Company of London had actually marketed this old ancient carafe. As the antique coffee pot was made of silver and the handle was really very straight, further its height was 6" and a little higher, it made it really ambiguous to understand what it really was. However I was really surprised at the expertise of my dear aunt who not only told us what it was but also made us understand its value. Seeing the happiness on her face after she had found the antiquity I thought that as a gifting item, no other thing could be better. Hence, as she really made me understand and separate the junk from the ancient antique treasures that was lying in my house, I felt there could be no other way to show my gratitude but by gifting the antique coffee pot to her. The smile on her face really made my day as I gave the pot to her.
