Note : An argyle is an insulated gravy pot, reputedly invented by the third Duke of Argyll of Scotland.  As there was a long journey to from the kitchen to the dining table, some method – in this case a jacket of hot water, or sometimes a central conical heated insulator – was ingeniously devised to keep the gravy warm.  The earliest recorded argyle dated to 1755, becoming more common after 1770.

Condition : Excellent with very crisp marks; no bends, breaks or repairs to body; the lid inner flange slightly out of round, but still retaining a very tight fit
