IRONS, 'Mrs Potts' Set

H1996.455.1-6

Set of four virtually identical irons, with a handle and stand. The irons are symmetrical in shape, pointed at both ends and of two parts; the heavy base and a top plate which has the manufacturer's branding - joined together by two screws.
The handle has a semi-circular wooden grip, painted black, although some of the paint has been worn off with use. The part which attaches to the iron base is also of iron. It has a spring wooden lever for attaching. The stand is raised and made by a different manufacturer, therefore not part of the original set(?).
