This old antique English pottery stoneware bedwarmer (footwarmer) is one of the early "hot water bottles." It was filled with boiling water and placed under the covers to warm up a cold bed. There is a "2" engraved on one end, so I assume that this bedwarmer holds 2 pints of water.

This antique English foot warmers or bed warmers are straight from England. They were originally filled with boiling water and placed under the covers to warm up a cold bed. Now, many people collect these warmers and use them to decorate their homes.

What a great conversation piece! Or, you could use it for those cold nights!

It measures 12" long, 5" wide, and 6-1/2" tall. It has a screw-type stoneware cap. There is a pretty design around the top, as shown in the pictures. The cap, handle, and the end that the handle is on are a medium brown.

This bedwarmer and cap have been well preserved and are in very good condition. A little bit of the brown glaze has worn off the cap. I don't see any cracks or chips.
