Wine cooler (Elmstead BR7)
Withdrawn
It fits a standard bottle of wine, mineral water, fruit juice, or whatever, and the top inch or so is glazed. There is a bunch of grapes design on the front that I have tried to capture in the second photo. I doubt it has ever been used.

Set of six fish knives and forks (Elmstead BR7)
Withdrawn
Stainless steel, made in Sheffield to BS5577, which gives material and performance criteria for cutlery with non-metallic handles. Requirements are given for stainless-steel and silver-plated nickel-silver or silver-plated stainless steel cutlery. I very much doubt they have ever been used, so there is little sign of wear.

Two embroidered tray cloths (Elmstead BR7)
Gifted
About 47cm x 31cm. I think they are probably cotton and probably hand embroidered, but I am no expert. To be honest they are both slightly stained, probably from tea. I imagine it is almost impossible to avoid the odd drop of tea falling on a tray cloth, and almost impossible to remove the tea stains without damaging the embroidery.

M&S Edwardian Lady cachepot (plant pot holder) (Elmstead BR7)
Expired
As new. About 15cm across and 13cm high. A cachepot (from the French for "hide the pot") is a decorative outer container used to conceal an ordinary, functional plant pot. It acts as an aesthetic "overpot", allowing you to hide standard plastic or terracotta grow pots without needing to re-pot the plant directly. They typically lack drainage holes. This protects your tabletops, shelves, and furniture from water damage and soil spills. You can simply remove the inner plastic pot for watering, let it drain completely in the sink, and place it back inside the cachepot. Many plant owners place a layer of pebbles at the bottom of a cachepot to raise the plant slightly above any excess runoff, which helps increase humidity as the water evaporates.

6 seat rectangular patio set cover (Elmstead BR7)
Gifted
The cover comes in its own zip storage case, with a handle. It also comes with a "spider" to hold it in position when the wind blows. It has been used over a couple of winters but is still in good condition. Check the size carefully, as we found it too small for our patio set, and bought a larger one instead.

Free:
Brass oil lamp (Elmstead BR7)
Gifted
It's about 50cm tall, and has two wicks. It does not contain any oil, so it is safe to transport in your car. I have not tested it, but I imagine there is little to go wrong. One wick definitely can be raised. The other one is very stiff and I don't like to force it as I do not know what I am doing. I have not tried removing the filler cap.

Free:
Tall bamboo screen (Elmstead BR7)
Gifted
Excellent condition. It is about 187cm tall, and each panel is 46cm wide. Handy for hiding areas you want to keep out of sight. Being bamboo it is surpisingly light, just over 5kg. Available for collection most days from noon to 8pm. I'm afraid I can't offer to deliver as my car load space isn't long enough.
