Description

A stunning example of a top quality silver plated spirit kettle and stand made by the top-notch silversmith, Mappin & Webb. The underside of the kettle is fully marked and is lucky enough to have an English Design Registration number, dating the design to 1913, 110 years old.

The stand is supported by the most elegant legs and the kettle secured with the use of two "keys" one releases the back of the kettle so that it could pivot on the front hinge to pour while still on the stand. The key to the front can also be released removing the kettle completely. There is a burner below which would have been filled with fuel to light the wick, keeping the water hot and ready to top-up the teapot.

Excellent condition measuring 9 3/4" wide including spout x 5" x 12 1/2" tall.
