19th-Century English Miniature Copper Kettle with Brass Accents
Description
19th-century antique miniature copper kettle featuring a heavy-gauge tapered copper body, an ornate cast-brass swan-neck spout, and a scrolled brass handle with a hand-fitted copper grip. The lid is topped with a finely detailed brass acorn finial, reflecting authentic period construction. This piece exhibits a rich, fired patina and significant surface oxidation consistent with over a century of age, suggesting it may have been functional for use on a child’s toy stove or as a high-end showcase model. Likely a salesman’s sample or apprentice piece, it embodies 19th-century English decorative style. 4″ (H,W). CONDITION: Significant surface oxidation present. Rich patina visible on the copper surface. SHIPPING: In-House Shipping Available
