18th Century Oval Body Copper Kettle

This is a good, heavy antique copper kettle that features the classic Georgian shape and dovetail joining of the metal (see detailed picture). The body is oval and has a traditionally shaped handle with brass mounts and copper grip which is firmly fixed with rivets; the lid has a spherical knob fixed by a wing nut. Although it has had a few knocks there is nothing that you would describe as a dent and it is only due to the fact that they break the line of reflection that you are aware of any dinks at all. It has a four pint capacity, and although it has some limescale deposits inside, it doesn't leak and pours smoothly. This would look great amongst a collection of antique copper or hanging from a beam in a country kitchen.
