Copper & Brass Kitchenware, Tea Kettles & Basins
Sold for: $100
Description
This collection consists of four antique and vintage copper and brass metalware items, including two tea kettles and two basins, exhibiting styles attributed to late 19th or early 20th-century Swedish and European manufacture. The first tea kettle is constructed of brass with a bulbous body featuring two horizontal incised bands, a short spout, and a turned wood handle on brass supports. The second tea kettle is polished copper with a domed lid topped by a brass finial, a tapered brass spout, and an ebonized turned wood handle, a form frequently attributed to Swedish makers of the period. The larger copper basin features a tapered body, a rolled rim, and two cast brass ring handles secured with copper rivets. The smaller copper pot displays a hammered finish and bulbous form with two rectangular cast brass side handles. Construction techniques include a combination of spun and hammered metal with riveted hardware. No maker marks or hallmarks are visible on the exterior surfaces of the items.
