On one side - inside a pointed rectangular frame is the word C CROP and on the other again in a frame LONDON. These were a novelty pipe used in the 19th century from 1850 onwards.

An incomplete cast copper alloy zoomorphic candleholder, in the form of a dog. The dog is missing his hind legs.

The body of the dog survives, complete with a tail. There is a hole drilled through the centre of the animal's body, suggesting this would have been where the socket was inserted. Other zoomorphic candleholders of similar form are usually standing on a base - the slim foot we see here would have e…
