This heavy grade brass spirit kettle comes from the period 1900 to 1920 in an Arts and Crafts style, complete with its original brass stand and burner. The polished brass body has a stepped, domed lid topped with an ebonised wooden finial, an overhead handle with an ebonised wooden bar insert, and an embossed floral band encircling the middle above stepped mouldings. The angular cast brass tripod stand holds a central burner beneath the kettle. The piece measures 33 cm high, 16.5 cm wide, and 16.5 cm deep. It suits placement on a sideboard top or similar surface in a living room or dining room as a decorative focal point.

FAQs

A spirit kettle is a tabletop hot water vessel mounted on a frame above an alcohol burner, designed to maintain water temperature for serving tea.

These vessels were typically manufactured from brass, copper, or silver plate, incorporating non-conductive ebonised wood or cane handles to reduce heat transfer.

Authentic period examples often feature stamped registration marks, hand-chased bands, visible structural rivets, and clean geometric stands characteristic of late Victorian metalwork.

Place the piece on a dining room sideboard, kitchen island, or drinks trolley to introduce warm metallic tones and historic craftsmanship to contemporary spaces.

Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialized brass polish, avoiding abrasive scrubbers that can scratch chased ornamentation or strip surface patination.
