This is a Victorian bird feeder dating from the early part of the 19th century, c1840.
The bird feeder is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear commensurate with 150+ years of use.
The bird feeder is cone-shaped and is surmounted by a blue glass ball finial above an annular collar. The feeder is otherwise plain save for the ''spout'' also being highlighted in blue glass. The feeder has a kicked-in base and measures 6 cm (2.4 inches) in diameter and 10 cm (4 inches) from end to end of the spout. The bird feeder is 12.5 cm (5 inches) in height.
There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any evidence of restoration.
It weighs in at 95 g. (~ 3 oz.).
