A 19thC Bermantofts Faience Spoon Warmer, Grotesque Bullfrog 17cm makers mark.
A superbly stylish, original Bermantofts faience spoon warmer in the traditional form of a grotesque bullfrog.
The decorative table piece was originally a dining table stand to warm spoons, in this case probably desert spoons whilst now more commonly popular as decorative coffee table, desk, mantlepiece ornaments for bookcases etc.., excellent desk tidy for pens.
The turquoise seated bullfrog is characteristic of the Bermantofts model, which impressed makers stamp ‘b’ to the underside.
Whilst in mostly excellent condition and great surface to the glaze, the right hand front paw shows a small nibble, see photos.
