This ornamental urn is made from 'Parrot' coal, another name for cannel coal, a corruption of candle coal, which refers to the chattering noise it makes as it burns. A table that was in the Scottish Divisional Coal Board offices, Edinburgh was made from cannel coal mined from the West Wemyss Colliery in Fife (G. Mell, Coal Black Magic, Country Life, 14 November, 1974, p. 1407, fig. 1).

A cannel coal table by Thomas Williamson was sold Christie's South Kensington, 15 September 2004, lot 548.
