Up for sale is a rare, complete Edwardian-era Grimwades "Quick-Cooker" ceramic pudding boiler set, complete with its original matching lid. Manufactured in Staffordshire, England, this innovative kitchen piece features patented green transfer-printed instructions across both the lid and bowl.
Designed by Leonard Grimwade, it features a unique central hollow steam column that cooked dense suet puddings and stews from the inside out, cutting traditional cooking times in half. Finding a complete set where both the basin and original lid have survived together is incredibly tough, making this a fantastic addition to any kitcheniana, ironstone, or antique collection.
Condition:
Good, honest antique condition with a beautiful natural patina. The ironstone body exhibits classic fine crazing and organic dark staining from decades of genuine historical use. The green transfer print remains clear and legible. No major structural cracks. Please view all photos to appreciate its authentic character.
