coffee service

JOSHUA TORRES


It was fancy and it looked really old. It tells me they used it for serving coffee and tea and silver smith made it. We saw Jonny Tremon and how he made silver and I saw when they took the silver and poured it in the mold and then it got cold and turned hard. Then they took it out of the mold and they polished it.
