Bidspirit auction | A Collection of Antique Copper

A Collection of Antique Copper Household Items including Arts and Crafts Crumb Set and Ale Warmer - A collection of household metalware items primarily constructed from heavy-gauge copper. The group includes a two-piece Arts and Crafts style silent butler or crumb set consisting of a dustpan-style tray and a matching curved brush. The tray is decorated with embossed foliate and scroll designs featuring a stippled circular motif, while the brush features a copper-clad wooden handle with a repeating scroll pattern and natural bristles. Also included is a circular bed warmer or hot water bottle, formed from two spun copper sections joined by a rolled central seam and fitted with a central brass screw-top filler cap. The collection is completed by a traditional conical ale warmer, also known as a muller, featuring a wrought copper body with a folded rim and a simple loop handle secured with two copper rivets. Apart from a small white adhesive label on the brass cap of the bed warmer hand-written with the number 25, no maker's marks, hallmarks, or manufacturer stamps are visible on the exterior surfaces of the items.
