Portrait of John Coney

Kingdom of Great Britain

John Coney is a Kingdom of Great Britain Baroque artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This British silversmith shaped gleaming household objects in the early 1700s, hammering silver into teapots, dram cups, and trencher salts that gleam with gilded edges. His Funeral Spoon (1670–1730) carries a matte bowl and polished stem, while the silver Inkstand (1710–20) holds quills above a gadrooned base. If you like the weight of a heavy lid on a teapot, tap the Teapot (1710–22) next.
