A scarce vintage Georgian egg boiler in the form of a covered deep pot. This Sheffield plate (layered silver sheets over copper) c1800-20 kitchen cooking accessory stands 5-5/8" high to the top of the finial and 4-5/8" across. It has a simple bale handle for suspension over a heat source; it also has the egg stand insert with pierced bottom and gallery, which supported three eggs. The boiler is completely handmade, with the insert a different metal than the case, which is silver over copper. The interior has a very shiny finish and it may have been overplated in the past. The finial is held on with a handcut wingnut, and this unsigned boiler is in very good original condition with no bends, corrosion, damage or repairs other than the loss of the wood lifting disc from the finial, some shallow denting and some minor copper blush on the edges and steps on the exterior. All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted; all items are secondhand and may have slight signs of gentle use. Surface shipping to the continental U.S. is $12 (other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $85 if paid with a credit card. Items paid with a credit card will be shipped to confirmed addresses only. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US.

An early, heavy solid copper hand-wrought copper cooking pot from the late 18th-early 19th century. This unsigned 9" diameter and 5" high pot has a thick hand-riveted 9-7/8" handle. The hand hammering and 3lb. 7 ounces weight, combined with the original tin lining, gives this pot a great look. It has a bevelled base and a great interior patina as well as some verdigris (greening), however the exterior has been cleaned in the past. This item is in excellent condition with no cracks, scrapes, dents, monograms, bends, losses, damage or repairs other than a small split where the left side of the handle joins the pot. Most of the original tin lining is intact, however it should be retinned before use. All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted; all items are secondhand and may have slight signs of gentle use. Surface shipping to the continental U.S. is $16 (other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $85 if paid with a credit card; items paid with a credit card will be shipped to confirmed addresses only. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US.
