Vintage heavy stoneware bed warmer Govancroft C Moore flat back stopper bed pig

The image displays an antique stoneware foot warmer, also known as a bed warmer or "bed pig". These were essentially early hot water bottles used before central heating was common.
The warmer was filled with hot water through the opening at the top, sealed with a stopper, and placed under bed covers to provide warmth.
Made from robust stoneware, many of these items have survived into the present day.
The stopper is marked with "C. MOORE", likely the manufacturer or distributor.
The item's design is typical of those produced in the late 19th or early 20th century
