J & F Pool Ltd, of Copperhouse, Hayle, Cornwall - their copperware was to some extent similar to that made in the Newlyn tradition but most of the basic forming was cheaply made with jigs in machines. Many items were hand-finished and usually unmarked. A London agent, Henry Campbell of London, was engaged in 1909 and a new catalogue produced to include most of the decorative copperware in popular demand, but not cookware. Products included cabinets, cad...dies, clocks, door furniture, , fenders, trays and deskware items.Here we have a kidney-shaped beaten copper tray engraved with traditional arts and crafts motifs. One or two blemishes, most noticeably in the bottom right hand corner (identified in the photos) but generally in very good condition.Size is approximately 19 inches x 10 inches.
