This large and highly decorative charger was made at the Cornish Arts and Crafts Copper Works, J. F. Poole of Hayle.
They operated at the same time as the Newlyn School, late 19th early 20th century producing similar hand crafted decorative copper ware.
This large and important example is in beautiful untouched condition. It retains all of its original light and dark patinated surfaces which have often been lost over the past century with polishing.
The charger is made from heavy gauge hammered copper.
At its centre, there is an impressive 18th century high masted sailing ship out at sea and circling around its perimeter there are a group of dragon fish all deeply hammered and embossed into the thick copper and skilfully finished with sharp hand chased detailing.
The charger has its original shaped hanging loop on the reverse and is clearly stamped “ Hand Made” in the copper. A trade mark of J. F. Poole.
These large rare chargers from this prestigious Cornish manufacturer rarely come onto the market and most often not in this lovely original condition.
