A Victorian novelty silver hot water pot modelled as a watering can.

The lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. A number of the ivory insulators are chipped or cracked, some of the rivet pins look to have been replaced. A whole ivory insulator is missing from the top of the lid handle, holes to the silver visible where the ivory would have been fixed. Soft solder repairs to the join of the handle on the main body. A number of losses and repairs to the enamel. Hallmarks partly worn but overall legible, also marked Thornhill & Co, Bond st, London.  Hinged cover present to the spout. Both hinges are in good working order.
