Description: | Flower-shaped base with a raised, circular centre which is slightly dished. A turned stem extends from the centre of the base which ends in a large finial onto which sits a hollow, circular 'bowl' from which extends three spouts. These are lipped at the ends and have holes from which wicks would have protruded. The cover is bell-shaped and the whole of this portion can be slid up the stem. The long, plain stem extends through the centre of the bowl and cover and has a decoratively moulded handle at the top. There is a triangular section of brass around the shaft which has a length of chain attached to each corner which holds a bell-shaped snuffer, a pricker and a wick trimmer which is in the form of a pair of scissors but with a 'pan' and cover on one side.
Material: metal, copper alloy, brass | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.decorativeart&design.2782 | Go to resource |
