Vintage copper tea kettle with wooden handle

$75.00

A charming mid-20th century copper kettle, complete with brass supports, a turned wooden handle, and tinned interior. Its warm patina tells a story of years gone by, making it equally suited for display in a farmhouse kitchen or for functional use.

Dimensions: 10" H x 7.5" D

Condition: Good vintage condition; unmarked. Some surface wear consistent with age.

Age & Origin

  • These types of kettles were widely produced in the mid-20th century (1940s–1960s), although earlier examples exist.
  • The tinned interior indicates it was made to be functional (not purely decorative), since raw copper should not come into prolonged contact with boiling water.
  • European (French, English) and North American makers both produced this style.

Use 

  • Traditionally placed on a stove or hearth for boiling water.
  • Copper was prized because it heats quickly and evenly, though it requires upkeep (polishing and re-tinning when worn).
