Description

by S.W. Smith & Co, Birmingham 1928, the jug of cylindrical form with half gadrooned body, the part marked hinged cover with gadrooned rosette under a black urn shaped finial, black handle and pedestal foot, the fully marked simple three legged frame with circular top retaining band, the three stretchers supporting a smaller circular band on which rests the unmarked burner with detachable wick section, 29ozt gross ex the burner section (2)

Condition report: Pot - In generally good condition with no obvious signs of damage or repair. Some slight movement in the hinge but the cover sits well. Finial loose as the threading in the retaining nut has worn away and the nut would benefit from being replaced. Handle is firm in the socket. Underside blackened due to the burner but undamaged. Hallmark crisp and easily readable. Stand - In good condition with no obvious sign of damage or repair. Hallmark a little worn but easily readable. Sits well on a flat surface with no wobble. Burner - In good condition and working order though the reservoir has not been tested for leakage. Wick cranks up and down as it should.
