Le Syphonic

A pretty porcelain pedestal from around 1890, on display at the Crossness Pumping Station.

It makes a nice change from the ubiquitous plain white of today.

 

If you're interested, the label reads:

 

Porcelaine Anglaise Cauldon

E.P. concessionaire Paris

Grand Prix 1889

 

Cauldon was an established porcelain manufacturer based in Stoke, but like many businesses over time, it changed hands several times before disappearing. Cauldon made some charming tableware from around 1904, which is quite sought-after.

 

I took this on a Canon Powershot G10; I'm in two minds now about charging the battery - I am sure my phone takes a better picture.
