Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1890s.
The kettle is 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.

The underside of the kettle is stamped with the silversmith's initials HB & HS.
