Apologies for lack of posting, especially on legal topics.
In the course of clearing out part of a house, I came across a pot which looks as if it should be fitted on top of some other device. It has liquid in the bottom, like a bain marie pot, but in the top too. Can anyone tell me what it is? Google image search has not yet solved it.
What does it smell like? Is it a chamber pot?
I don’t think it can be, because in raising the heavy lid you would pee yourself too soon.
Could it be a double boiler?
Well, perhaps, but that doesn’t explain what fits into the hole in the bottom and why the top lid is full of liquid. I have a feeling it might have something to do with canning, but I can’t see exactly what.
Zepter ?
The pictures on the Web don’t look like it.
So what kind of pot is it?
Could it be a Wonder Pot?

A very nice try, but I can’t explain the central tube bit. I suspect a better source would be Bid TV or QVC. Have now given the pot to a charity shop (was this charitable?).
I was in MK last week – Stony Stratford – but forgot you were there.
