These are a very unusual and rare but also so charming as they could go in a modern setting , a period setting and basically in any room
Made most probably by Minton , These are made up of 4 pieces each, The cooler body , the liner , the lid with a top lid . So the ice would have gone in the main body , the ice cream in the liner a, then ice again inside the lid ..covered by the top lid .
These are picked out in gold , the handles have the charming oak leaves and acorns in gold .
There are a few small stress cracks on the lids ..probably from use and the small lid being placed roughly on top , I have not restored these as they are just small hairlines
