Object Description
A beautiful kettle and stand in the early 18th century style (c.1720). The kettle is of plain “bullet” form and sits upon a stand with panelled legs.
The kettle is hand engraved on one side with a cartouche.
There are two pins to affix the kettle to the stand, and when the rear one is removed, one can pour the kettle without removing it from the stand. It is fully removable by taking out the front pin.
The kettle still retains its original adjustable burner and the original fruitwood swing-handle.
It retains all its original fittings.
The kettle is in excellent condition and is made by one of the most important makers of the period. Enclosed in the pictures is an advert for Crichton Bros from 1920 (the same year the kettle was made and this kettle is one of their masterly reproductions from an original).
Dimensions: height (to top of handle) 33 cm; weight 54 troy oz.
