Historical information
Rubber spouts were a practical household solution in the early to mid-20th century when replacing an entire teapot was less economical.
Such spouts were often sold in general stores and kitchenware shops, particularly in rural areas where replacing fragile ceramics could be difficult.
Physical description
These are two curved, reddish-brown rubber spouts, likely replacement spouts for teapots or kettles.
They are flexible and slightly tapered, allowing them to fit snugly onto the opening of a teapot.
The surface shows minor wear and discoloration, indicating previous use or aging.
The material appears to be an early form of rubber or heat-resistant synthetic material.
