19th century
Description

A good Late 19th Century Antique English Victorian Brass and Copper Spirit Kettle in the Arts and Crafts manner by William Soutter & Sons, { 1760 - 1928 } of Birmingham, whose main business in 1802, and for some years afterwards according to Berrow's Worcester Journal, was as tea urn manufacturers. cf. Birmingham History. This fine old piece is here offered in excellent condition with just a little "play" in the handle, and comes complete with its original spirit burner and wick, the wick winder still in full working order. The underside of the kettle with Maker's Mark together with the impressed line, SOUTTERWARE. As always, we are delighted to acknowledge our debt to colleagues at The Oldcopper Website for their extensive research into these often abstruse marks.

FAQs

A spirit kettle is a tabletop hot water vessel designed with an accompanying stand and a small liquid-fuel burner underneath. Popular during the 19th century, these objects were used during afternoon tea service to keep water warm at the table without requiring trips to the kitchen.

Spirit kettles were primarily manufactured using sheet brass, copper, silver plate, or sterling silver. Stands and structural components were frequently cast from brass or iron, while handles often incorporated turned wooden or copper insulated sleeves to protect hands from heat.

Authentic pieces often feature makers marks, registration numbers, or manufacturer stamps on the base of the vessel or stand. Construction details such as hand-riveted joints, cast brass legs, and natural oxidisation patterns within unpolished crevices also indicate historical authenticity.

An antique spirit kettle serves as an architectural accent piece on a dining room sideboard, kitchen island, or open shelving unit. Combining warm brass tones with neutral ceramics or timber backdrop creates a balanced textural display.

To clean unlacquered brass and copper, apply a specialist metal polish with a soft cotton cloth, removing residue from detailed castings with a soft brush. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that scratch soft metals, and apply a light coat of microcrystalline wax to protect against rapid tarnishing.
