Serpentine Antiques has dated this piece to the 1860s.
A lovely naturalistic bark and tree branch design makes up the kettle handle and spout, and forms the cast stand and burner as well. The spirit burner keeps the tea warm conveniently, saving trips to the kitchen.
Made by Mappin, Webb and Co., very famous and great quality makers.
An all original kettle and stand, including the spirit burner, which is very often lost over time.
There is some plate wear on a couple of spots.
Size-8 inches wide by 9 inches deep by 12.5 inches high.
A most unusual and complete naturalistic kettle and stand, with great style, by a very good maker, in very good condition overall. Still functional to use for its original purpose, and also a lovely decorative piece to display.
A wonderful value.
