PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Ewers and other Vessels for Liquids and in
Supports for the same.
We THE WORCESTER ROYAL PORCELAIN COMPAny, Limited, and EDWARD
PROBERT EVANS one of the Managing Directors of the said Company, both of
The Royal Porcelain Works in the City of Worcester, Manufacturers of Porcelain
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of ewers usually employed for holding
water for toilet purposes and to means or apparatus for supporting the same such
improvements being also applicable to other vessels for holding liquids and supports
for same.
The object of the invention is to facilitate the pouring out from the ewer or
vessel of a portion of its contents without the user having to lift the vessel and the
whole of its contents as is commonly the case, and at the same time to facilitate the
application of ornamental and artistic novel designs to such goods.
In carrying out the invention we form the ewer of a convenient and ornamental
form preferably with a suitable lip and trunnions or means of support adapted to
rest in corresponding sockets or bearings borne by arms from a standard carried by
a sufficiently substantial and firm base. The vessel is arranged so that the pre-
ponderance of the body is considerably greater below the trunnions and the swing
of the body on its supports may be checked in one direction by an elastic or other
stop applied to the stand or an elastic ring, or piece, on the vessel, or by means of
a flattened or double support to the trunnion on each side or equivalent incans.
Ornamental ewers of Grecian character of porcelain with gilt metal supports
arns and pillar mounted on a porcelain base with fect-the trunnions having
decorated bosses formed on them hiding the bearings will be found to give a
beautiful effect and example of the invention if carried out with artistic skill.
Handles to the vessel may be provided but are not necessary in most cases.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING.
Fig. 1 shews in outline front view and Fig. 2 by like side view a ewer or vessel
for containing liquid and a support for same according to this invention.
Fig. 3 shews a like view to Fig. 1 of a similar vessel but with a modification in
the mode of support.
In Figs. 1 and 2 the vessel a is formed with trunnions a' a which rest in
bearings formed in the arms springing from the base b, these arms being here
shewn as having a bolt c passed from their junction into and through the base, a
screw nut c' accessible from below holding the bolt securely in place. a² are bosses
designed to hide the trunnions and bearings and a³ is a stop to control the movement
of the vessel and prevent it from tilting the mouth backwards.
In Fig. 3 the vessel a, instead of hanging suspended on trunnions a¹, a¹ formed
on its body, is formed with a swell, or enlargement at which rests in a hoop or
ring preferably of metal, on which are secured centres a equivalent to the
trunnions a' of Fig. 2 and which are held in bearings in the arms.
To remove the vessel, Fig. 1, it is raised lifting the trunnions a' out of the
bearings whilst in the arrangement Fig. 3 the vessel is lifted out of the ring d.
To pour out liquid either vessel is simply tilted as shewn by dotted lines in Fig. 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
The manufacture of ewers and other vessels for liquids, and supports for same
adapted to enable the liquid contents to be poured out therefrom by tilting the
vessel on its supports yet permitting of removal of the vessel when desired from
such supports, as set forth.
