Fern pot. If there is a design reference at
all it could just as well be to classical forms as to any
Victorian design theory. |
 |
Cache pot (?), one of a set of four with one large
and three smaller pots. Angeline Johnson suggests that
this set may have been part of an epergne. |

Brass candlestick, with hammered base.

Crumb tray and brush in copper. Presumably
Loveridge, like Sankey and Beldray, made a variety of crumb tray
designs and a smaller variety of brush designs. The
customers would select whatever they thought most suitable.
And brushes and trays would be sold separately. |
 |
Brass crumb scoop with turned ebonised handle.
A similar Loveridge crumb scoop with a very deeply cranked
handle has also been seen. |
 |
Copper crumb scoop with textured finish and turned
ebonised handle. |
 |
Brass crumb scoop with turned ebonised handle.
The pattern of leaves runs under the handle and is rather
crudely executed.

 |

hammered finish in a reserve. The top tray is designed to
clip on and off the stand. Under the top tray the stand
carries a sheet metal heat spreader above the spirit lamp. |

Food warmer or hotplate in brass and copper, with
hammered finish in a reserve. The spirit lamp holder has holes
in it suggesting that a trivet, possibly with a flame spreader,
is missing from this example. |
 |
Brass box with cast brass feet. Sold as a
salt box but Angeline Johnson suggests it may be a tea caddy or
a sugar boat.

 |
Copper tea caddy. The beads seem to be
typical Loveridge design features. |
 |
Brass container with cast brass finial, beaten
finish and exposed rivets. Exposed rivets are said to be a
Dresser design feature. It might also be said that they
are a Loveridge design feature.

parts.

Coal box in brass with tinplate insert. The
box and its shovel have handles of ebony (not ebonised wood).
The mark is on a circular tin plate fixed to the underside of the
box lid. |
