A small coppersmiths in Birmingham makes this English copper kettle by hand using the original tools for pressing and hollowing, developed by the founders 100 years ago. (We understand that today these are simply irreplaceable). The kettle is made from solid copper, the inside plated with lead-free tin. The kettle's bottom is extremely flat and even to achieve perfect distribution of heat. The shape is striking: unchanged for over eighty years and yet surprisingly modern. This kettle whistles like a steam train when the water boils. As copper is non-magnetic, the kettle is not suitable for induction hobs. With whistle. Base 19.2 cm dia., Volume 1.7 l. Weight 800 g.
This shape has been influenced both by the design and the material. A kettle must be able to heat large amounts of water quickly and economically. The best material to use, therefore, is copper. A kettle should have a high, curved spout to ensure that the water cannot boil over. It must have a firm handle with which the kettle can be carried safely. Therefore, it is with good reason that our copper kettle has a traditional look. Needless to say, this kettle has nothing to do with the nostalgic tat available for a few shillings on virtually every street corner. It is one of those historical copper household appliances which delight antiquarians: in this form and shape it is made for us exclusively and not available anywhere else.
