Crown Staffordshire Coddlers

Crown Staffordshire (CS) coddlers were made in England. They are convex in shape, with a pedestal, with one exception. The CS coddlers vary a bit in size, but they are the same size or slightly larger than the Royal Worcester king size. One collector describes the porcelain as thicker and heavier than most other coddlers.

Lid Styles

There are two styles of lid, each with corresponding threads around the rim of the coddler. One requires almost a full turn (360 degree) to remove the lid. The other type of lid is more of a quick release ... a turn of just a few degrees is sufficient to remove the lid.

Lifting Ring Styles

There are three styles of lifting ring on the lid. There is the round lifting ring, made from a cylindrical strip of metal curved into a circular loop,and bonded to the lid (this is the lifting ring most commonly seen on egg coddlers). There is a flat lifting ring ... that is, a flat strip of metal, approximately ¼ inches wide, curved into a circular loop, and bonded to the lid. There is a square lifting ring, made from a cylindrical strip of metal, then shaped into a square or diamond-shaped ring with rounded corners, and then bonded to the lid.
