Description
Small Decorative Hide Glue Pot – Refinished | Approx. 1.5 fl oz
Vintage Double‑Boiler Glue Pot | Complete Insert | Ready for Use (Check Finish)
This small decorative hide glue pot is a classic double‑boiler style glue heater, traditionally used for preparing hot hide glue in fine woodworking, instrument repair, and restoration work. With an approximate capacity of 1.5 fl oz, it’s ideal for small batches, touch‑ups, or detailed joinery tasks where precise glue control is essential.
The pot has been refinished, giving it a clean, attractive appearance suitable for display or light workshop use. The inner double‑boiler insert is complete, intact, and fits properly, allowing the pot to function as intended — warming glue gently via indirect heat.
Because the exterior has been refinished, it’s important to verify that the applied coating is heat‑safe before exposing the pot to direct flame or prolonged heating. Some decorative finishes may soften or off‑gas when heated. As a result, this piece is best regarded as a functional collectible: usable with care, or perfect as a decorative workshop item.
