ARTHUR EDWARD FURNISS and JAMES EDWARD FURNISS, Electro plate manu-
facturers of 27 Carver Street Sheffield in the county of York do hereby declare the
naturo of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
The improvement consists of a fixed or movable lining made of porcelain, china,
earthenware or other material having an enamelled surface, fitted with a covering
made of Silver, Nickel,-Britannia Metal, Tin, Copper or any other material, or the
interior of the metal itself may be enamelled. The inside of the article may by either
of these means be kept perfectly clean; and as the lining or enamelled surface of the
interior is an almost perfect non conductor of heat the exterior does not become
heated by the hot liquid within & the utensil may thus be used or handled with
perfect safety. The lining being perfectly rigid & firm prevents the possibility of the
article swerving, losing its proper shape or from becoming bent in any way
whatever.

ARTHUR EDWARD FURNISS and JAMES EDWARD FURNISS, Electro plate manu-
facturers of 27 Carver Street Sheffield in the County of York do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The improvements consist of a fixed or movable lining made of Porcelain, China,
Earthenware or other material having an enamelled surface, fitted with a covering
made of Silver, Nickel Silver, Britannia Metal, Tin, Copper or any other metal.
The inside of the utensil, being impervious to the action of Tea, Coffee or any
heated liquid, does not become stained or discolored, and never imparts a disagreeable
or injurious flavor of the beverage; and it would always remain perfectly sweet and
clean, an enamelled surface lending itself, more readily for cleansing purposes than
bare metal. The lining or enamelled surface of the interior being an almost perfect
nonconductor of heat, the exterior does not become heated by the hot liquid within,
and the utensil may therefore be used or handled with perfectly safety. The lining
being perfectly rigid and firm prevents the possibility of the utensil swerving, losing
its proper shape, or becoming bent, or indented in any way whatever.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
1. The introduction of the enamelled lining into the interior of Tea & Coffee Pots
& other like utensils whereby the beverage or liquid contained therein is prevented
from becoming tainted or at all injurious, & which allows the utensil always to keep
perfectly sweet and clean.
2. By the introduction of this enamelled lining the utensil may be handled from the
outside without fear of the fingers being burnt by the hot liquid within.
3. The means of preventing a utensil from becoming bent or indented, or losing its.
shape in any way, as is the case with ordinary metal utensils.
