TallBoy Interiors has dated this piece to the 1920s.
To explain, what happens is when the smelting pots starts life they are usually black or dark red. Over the duration of its life it will be rapidly heated and then cooled on a number of occasions which causes the surface to break out in bursts of colour and then glaze over. The material smelted inside also plays a big roll in the colour that will appear. In this instance these were used for aluminium and the colours created are a blue, green and red. So for a piece that was solely made as a functional product to be transformed into something utterly stunning is really quite special.
I have 6 of these ideal for use both inside or out. These are extremely heavy so there will be no fear of them blowing over. You may also see on some cracks, this is again purely from the stress of the heating and cooling but no cracks go right through meaning they are perfectly useable for planting etc.
