Antique ironstone oven thermometer - UK shipping only
A significantly rare antique white ironstone oven & frying thermometer in a cast iron stand. A flat slab of white ironstone is decorated with black underglaze typography, with temperature markings beside a central (and original) glass thermometer tube. This is then mounted in a substantial cast iron foot and cradled by a back plate.
An attractive and interesting piece of late Victorian/Edwardian kitchenalia, the typography on each side of the thermometer suggests a variety of temperatures for different cooking methods and ingredients, which includes roasting temps for meats and baking pastry, along with frying temps for whitebait, meat and fish.
PLEASE NOTE - Due to the presence of the original mercury filled glass thermometer, this item unfortunately cannot be posted, therefore is only available for a UK sale by collection/meet up by the prospective buyer.

International customers and combined shipping
International buyers (outside of the UK) - When you add an item to your cart you can select a shipping destination and the postage will be calculated. Usually this is correct, but for multiple purchases and larger items it is advisable to enquire before purchasing, as shipping is based on rough estimates to different regions and may vary to that stated. You may 'buy it now' with the shipping cost calculated, but if this is incorrect we may contact you after purchase. We will either issue a refund for the difference, or request for a remaining postage balance to be paid, either way we will always contact you before any changes are made. Our standard postage costs include tracking where possible and usually require a signature upon receipt, please also include a contact phone number when ordering. Postage to P.O. boxes must be enquired about before purchase as many shippers do not deliver to them.
*Multiple purchases - If you would like to purchase multiple items we can usually combine shipping. It is best to message us first for a shipping quote, but to avoid missing out you can purchase items through the website immediately without paying a shipping fee. Add the desired pieces to your cart, then view your cart and in order summary there is a drop down menu with postage options. Select *Multiple purchases & combined shipping* and the shipping price will be removed. You can now pay for your selected items and we will contact you with a shipping quote to then be paid separately.
