17th Century Pottery Cauldron
CUNNINGHAM WHITE'S
First things first - yes, this is just a broken old pot. But to me, it is so much more!
It’s Dutch and dates to the 17th century. It’s made from terracotta coloured clay and then leadglazed. It has three little feet and scorch marks where it’s sat in a fire.
It has numerous repairs throughout - someone has obviously loved (or needed) this enough to keep repairing it.
Pottery cauldrons like this were used by poorer families, whereas the bronze or other metal ones were normally limited to the more affluent households (and generally survived better than ones like this).
I think it’s utterly charming! Proper ‘make do and mend’.
Quite delicate so will need to discuss postage options with the buyer.
Goes well with the similar cooking pot also listed.

At Cunningham White's we source decorative antiques and furniture. We are guided by great decorative value, recognising the emotion that can be gained from owning something that just looks and feels so good. We don't pin ourselves down to one particular style or period. We simply love good looking things.
Sam finds and Naomi fixes (although sometimes it's the other way round) and as a team we manage to always have a quality selection of stock in our collection.
We believe that antiques are the future. Timeless, quality pieces add so much character to any scheme and can make a house into a home. They are sustainable. They haven't been thrown away because they are made to last and they can be fixed. We do that bit for you (if it's needed). Antiques reflect our individuality and connect us to past generations. We will always try and find out the provenance of a piece and share that with our customers.
We gladly welcome visitors but please let us know when you plan to visit as we're often out. Our workshop is based in the grounds of a working rescue farm in the characterful, vibrant and independently minded community of Totnes in beautiful South Devon.
