Mark Seabrook Antiques has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
...this one has a fine provenance, being made by a top quality maker, James Clews who was based in Birmingham and was in business with his sons from 1835 to 1948. This kettle is stamped with his makers mark JC B and is beautifully made with a turned amber coloured handle, swan neck spout and attractive shaped handle supports ....the lid has an impressive turned finial and is raised with a "ripple" effect....the main body is cleverly joined in two parts by a seam....a sign of it being earlier made....and it is finished off with four finely turned "bun" feet...just very good quality and in excellent condition with no major dents or repairs.
English. C1880-90.
