Cornish Tin Mine Tealight I *Second*
Cornish Tin Mine Tealight I *Second*
Hand-built Mini Cornish Engine House.
Inspired by the engine house at Kilifreth Tin Mine later known as Wheal Busy. There has been mining Cornwall since 16th century; producing copper, tin and arsenic. This engine house is based upon a design built in 1892.
Hand built using Staffordshire clay. Glazed in a glossy turquoise glaze and fired to 1240 degrees centigrade. The engine house comes with a tea light. My potter’s mark is on the back.
*The glaze ran during the firing covering the top small windows. It also has a small area on the right where the glaze ran and I sanded it back. Flaws captured in the pictures.
Dimensions (all measurements are approx):
Height: 10.5m
Width: 7cm
Made with lead free glazes. As with all candles - never leave unattended or burn within reach of children or animals.
