Extra Large Handmade Antique Metal Servant’s Hot Water Can made by a Victorian era ironmonger for an affluent household. Made for domestic use, servants transported hot water to bedrooms & bathrooms in this. The can is very well made and ergonomically constructed, it has a well supported carrying handle and pouring handle.
The hinged lid opens for adding hot water {and keeping it hot} from a bigger pot from cook's stove. Quite rare to find one of these with its charming original mustard golden yellow paint, at one time a past owner added the decorative crest of the Rothschild family, which is very well done, it is a label added on the surface. These days, collectors use these in their garden or sunroom. There is wear to the paint as shown, LOVE this one, an exceptional find.
