PEWTER CREAMER-VICTORIAN PERIOD

Item Number: 08-721
Until 2001, Ken
Paul Ltd. was Londons leading film prop supplier. Kens shop was well
known as a treasure trove of fine and eclectic antiques, including the
occupied coffin clock used in The Rocky Horror Movie, as well as a
source for the less extraordinary. For nearly five decades it supplied
props for virtually every English movie of note from Lawrence of Arabia
to Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone as well as television shows
including Masterpiece Theater and more recently, Absolutely Fabulous.
Items #717-729 were used in a number of English movies during the
50s-90s. As with any business, getting on with the product took
precedence, and film credits were maintained for only a few of the
thousands of items in his stock. None the less, a keen eye for spotting
the items in English films of the period has produced many matches and
given great pleasure and amusement to their owners.
Another example
selected by Ken Paul for its flamboyant form. 4 height with expanded
medial body and oversized spout. Flared foot and recurved handle.
Unmarked and very unusual construction, the body cast in two halves
with vertical seams, and separate foot and handle, all soldered
together. The interior lined with a blue glazed terra cotta. That liner
was made separately and the vessel built around it, explaining the
seams, as the firing temperature of the lowest firing terra cottas or
even faience, is well about the melting point of pewter. Exterior with
mottled patina and a few dents. The glazed lining cracked and chipped
at the spout. K PAUL marked bottom.
