Description

An antique pannikin (in this case a porcelain food warmer) by Clarkes was originally made to be used with a combination lamp and pyramid night light. The lamp on which the food warmer sat was also advertised as a prevention against burglaries. People were encouraged to light the pyramid night light and place at the front or back of their homes to deter housebreakers!
Dating from late 1800’s to early 1900’s.

Some hairline cracks, tiny chips and general wear and tear as you would expect from a well used antique piece.

Size: Height 10.00cm x Diameter 10.20cm ( excluding handle/pouring lip)
