About the Item
This unusual antique in a conical form, is actually an ale warmer / cider muller with a lid and side spout, a rolled copper seam and Cast iron handle. The simple cone would be stuck point-down into the heat from the top of the fire and were particularly widespread in 19th century Britain, where coal fires were the norm.
In England and other beer-drinking countries, warm ale was a popular winter drink when heated on its own or mulled with spice and sugar. Many people also thought ale was healthier drunk warm. And then there was a fondness for sweetened warm ale with nutmeg. If you added a measure of rum or brandy the mixture was called flip, and was popular on both sides of the Atlantic in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Prior to this invention, they used a hot poker from the fire sticking it into a tall pewter tankard of ale before giving it to a visitor!
Today the attractive copper ale mullers have become something people enjoy seeing around a fireplace. Along with well-polished warming pans, copper kettles, toasting forks etc. a copper ale muller has developed an aura of comfortable tradition, evoking a cosy past when the hearth was a warm place.
