This Edwardian Antique Pewter Coffee Pot with delightful fruit wood handle was made in the arts and crafts in style, on the bottom it states “English Pewter Hand Beaten Home Land Reg No 769570 It is mounted on oak and sanded to show off the grain, we have not stained or varnished the timber as we believe the timber will look better as it weathers. However, if you wish to add a coat of varnish you can but the smell may put the birds off for a while.

This coffee pot is an ideal shape for a nest box but could also be used as a bird feeder, if using as a nest box this one would be suitable for birds such as Robins, Wrens and Finches, and you would leave the spout open for drainage.  As a feeder before putting up block the spout to prevent the seed from running out, to do this I normally put gaffer tape over the inside opening of the spout.

We mount a coin relevant to the age of the kettle on the back timber and this one has an Edward VII penny. As well as making an excellent nest box or bird feeder it will make a unique stunning feature / talking point for your garden.

The dimensions are as follow. Height of the pot 27m, width 10cm, handle to spout 17cm, Overall mounted maximum height 23m, max width 24m, max length 28.
