3-pint Oval Antique Copper Kettle

A good antique oval copper kettle bearing very few dents. It features the traditional method of dovetailed jointing the metal both down the back seam and the underside (see detailed images). The riveted handle is firm, as is the spout. The few indentations there are very shallow and the high polish creates superb reflections as a testament to its age. There are no limescale deposits inside and also, no leaks, but for reasons of hygiene it is best used solely for decoration, and is excellent for creating that antique feel, or as an addition to a collection of copper.
