this was passed down and I don't have much info on it other than i think it was made between 1906-1920's . Adderley LTD in England. I don't find much info about this company...maybe i'm not looking in the right place. I have not seen another set like this. Does anyone know what the bucket is for? It still has it's handle...surely it's not a chamber pot...?? eww. This is a large lovely set i am happy to have displayed. Thanks Gramma! (she's German) :)
Beautiful!!!!
Well hopefully champagne!
You don't give any scale for size, but the bucket could very well be a chamber pot.

oops sorry! it's a fairly large bucket larger than a standard bathroom trash can...lol..i sure hope it's not a chamber pot but in the early 1900's, i'm sure that was still going on in England... It's too pretty to "potty" in...lol
