This is an authentic antique stoneware bed warmer, featuring a classic neutral glaze with a textured, speckled finish. This traditional "hot water pig" includes a decorative molded foliate design around the filling neck and its original ceramic screw-top stopper. The piece measures 26.5cm (l) x 13.5cm (h) and is solidly constructed with a flattened base for stability and a rounded handle at one end. It shows an impressive oval maker's mark near the base. The item displays minor age-related wear, including darkening on the unglazed base.
