The molded decoration includes a coat of arms, guards, animals, vines, birds, a dancing couple, and a crane on a serpent&#8217;s head spout. It measures 5.75 inches high, 8 inches wide from handle to spout and was made in the Staffordshire region of England, circa 1750-1760.<\/p>\n<p>After the original lid broke or went missing, an intricate tin replacement in the form of a shingled roof with a chimney as knob was made by a clever tinker. This is one of just a few replacement lids I have come across where the repairer copied the form of the original, and I am so glad that he (or she) did!<\/p>\n<p><a
