This is a very unique, special and rare solid brass fireplace smudge pot/fire pot because of its origin and what it is fashioned from. It has a distinctive flared fishtail handle to hold the pot which is very heavy solid brass. The smudge pot/fire pot measures 7" high, 4" in diameter and 5" wide with the handle. The pumice wand/fire starter has a brass shaft with a lovely decorative solid brass detailed handle depicting a medieval dressed gentleman. The pumice wand measures 11 1/4" long. The pumice stone is on a long metal wand and would be soaked in fuel. The smudge pot stores kerosene or lamp oil and sits on the fireplace hearth. When ready to light the fire the saturated pumice wand is placed under the logs. The pumice stone is lit with with a match. The pumice stone will burn approximately 10 minutes, long enough to ignite the logs. Once the wood catches fire the pumice stone is removed and let cool on the hearth, then placed in the pot when it is cool and ready for the next fire. This antique brass smudge pot is as mentioned a rare and very unusual piece as it is made from a 1945 World War II brass shell case.
