A C19 cast-iron sewer vent pipe.

MATERIALS: cast-iron.

EXTERIOR: the pipe is around 4m tall. Its base has two torus mouldings, then a plain shaft with horizontal banding and geometric triangle and circle detailing before a scotia. Moving upwards is a band of round-cornered rectangular mouldings, then further up is an elongated scotia below a band decorated with ball mouldings. Above this the shaft is narrower and plain until its halfway point where there is a larger protruding disk with smaller disks above and below. The pipe is capped by a collar with four round studs and a capital with stylised leaves.
