A beautifully preserved piece of interwar kitchen history, this rare 1930s–1940s Art Deco era oven thermometer was proudly Made in England by ITC. It features a heavy, glossy white vitreous enamel face displaying a Fahrenheit scale up to 500 degrees, uniquely marked with period-specific typography and temperature guides for baking Custard, Pudding, Fish, Bread, and Pastry.

It is accompanied by its rare, original solid oak presentation box—a luxury manufacturing hallmark of the era. The box features a rich historic grain, a secure aged brass latch, and a vibrant green felt-lined interior perfectly molded to protect the enamel finish.
