HELLO & WELCOME TO THIS sale FOR THE MOST WONDERFUL, ANTIQUE SILVER PLATED EGG CODDLER SET.

A FABULOUS & COMPLETE SET, IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION TOO.

A STUNNING ITEM INDEED. YOU DO NOT OFTEN SEE CODDLER'S IN THIS FINER A CONDITION. THIS ONE IS A SIMPLY WODERFUL SPECIMEN.

SHAPED IN THE TYPICAL STYLE OF A LARGE ' OSTRICH ' EGG.

THERE ARE 4 X PIECES IN TOTAL THAT MAKE UP THIS EGG CODDLER. 1 X LARGE BASE / STAND, 1 X DOUBLE SIDED SPIRIT BURNER, 1 X REMOVEABLE EGG FRAME & FINALLY 1 X DOMED LID.

FIRSTLY THE BASE / STAND. A VERY FINE ITEM, WITH THE TOP MAKING UP HALF OF THE OSTRICH EGG FORM. THIS IS BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN INSIDE & OUT & LOOKS WONDERFUL.

IT IS FITTED WITH 3 WONDERFUL, CURVING LEGS. EACH IS OF AN 'ARCHITECTURAL' STYLE, OVERLAYED WITH DETAILED 'ACANTHUS LEAVES' & ALL STAND UPON A 'HOOF' FOOT. SUPERB.

TO THE TOP OF EACH LEG IS A FABULOUS & AGAIN VERY DETAILED 'BOARS HEAD'.

FITTED BETWEEN THE LEGS IS THE DISHED 'TRAY' FOR HOLDING THE SPIRIT BURNER IN PLACE. THIS 'TRAY' HAS A SIMPLE 'STEPPED' EDGE & HERE WE FINDTHE SPIRIT BURNER, WHICH IS A SUPERB LITTLE ITEM. FITTING PERFECTLY WITHIN THE 'WELL' ON THE BASE, I WOULD IMAGINE THAT IT IS THE ORIGINAL ONE.

WHEN TURNED ONE WAY THERE IS A 'SHALLOW' SPACE FOR THE SPIRIT, OR TURNED OVER THE SPACE IS DEEPER, IF REQUIRED.

INSIDE THE BASE WE FIND THE CHARMING EGG FRAME.

THIS HAS A LITTLE 'LOOPED' CARRYING HANDLE TO THE TOP & SPACE FOR 4 EGGS WITHIN THE FRAME.

IT CAN BE LIFTED OUT WITH EASE & CAN SIT INDEPENDANTLY TOO, THANKS TO ITS LITTLE 'STEPPED' FOOT.

FINALLY, WE COME TO THE DOMED LID.

THIS IS AS CLEAN & RADIANT AS THE REST OF THE SET. TOPPED WITH A VERY FINE 'CAST' ACANTHUS LEAF FINIAL.

TO ENJOY THIS PIECE, SIMPLY BOIL YOUR EGGS IN THE KITCHEN, ADD HOT WATER TO THE INSIDE, THEN PLACE EGGS & FRAME WITHIN & COVER THEM WITH THE LID.

THIS SET CAN THEN BE CARRIED TO THE DINING TABLE & THE EGGS ARE KEPT NICE & WARM. READY TO EAT AT YOUR LEISURE. AND AS IT HAS SPACE FOR 4 X EGGS, YOU CAN ENJOY IT WITH 3 OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL AS YOURSELF. SUPERB.

THE WHOLE PIECE IS WONDERFULLY CLEAN INSIDE & OUT, ALL FITTING TOGETHER PERFECTLY.

A FABULOUS & COMPLETE SET TO STILL ENJOY & USE, AS WELL AS AN EXCELLENT ITEM TO HAVE UPON DISPLAY WITHIN ANY FINE COLLECTION.

CONDITION :

THIS IS A STUNNING SET,IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION ALL ROUND.

THERE IS NO DAMAGE, WEAR OR REPAIRS AT ALL.

THE SILVERED SURFACES SHINE VERY RADIANTLY.

SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS FROM ITS MANY YEARS, BUT ONLY VERY LITTLE.

THE ONLY REAL FAULT TO NOTE IS THAT SOMETIMES THE LID WONT SIT DOWN. I THINK THIS IS TO DO WITH THE HANDLE OF THE EGG FRAME CATCHING THE WING NUT UNDER THE LID. SOMETIMES IT GOES STRAIGHT ON & OTHER TIMES YOU HAVE TO 'FIDDLE' AROUND WITH IT. BUT THATS ALL.

THIS IS JUST A SUPERB PIECE, IN GREAT CONDITION.
