l give up.
l bought this from a garage sale this morning. The people running it said it was 'an old pressure cooker'.
Erm...
A by-stander said it was a champer pot with a lid.
Erm....
It's very heavy, two handed job to carry it. Branded with Hoffman Australia.
The metal handle slots into holes on the side so it's original.
There is spider crazing under the glaze.

Hi,
Your bystander was right, it's a chamber pot with a lid. It goes in a a wooden commode chair.

Makes you wonder what the 'pressure cooker' idea was about. l should of asked them how it works because every image that comes to mind dosen't end pretty!

Sorry, meant to get back to you last night, one of our pots has a lid, the spare one, the other one that came with the chair, doesn't. Maybe I can use the lidded one to cook the Christmas pudding??
