'Best wishes' copper kettle

Dimensions:

W: 18cm (7.1")H: 29cm (11.4")L: 30.2cm (11.9")



A most unusual, Victorian copper kettle with an engraved message. This is a really good quality piece, well made, from a heavy gauge of copper, and with castellated seams. It is marked, to the base, with the monogram 'W S & S', which was used by the Birmingham manufacturers William Soutter and Sons, and it dates from c.1880. The company became limited in 1896 and closed down in 1928. The kettle has a very attractively shaped brass handle and finial but what makes it even more unusual is the engraved inscription around the shoulder which reads 'Best wishes to both'. This was probably a special order and would have been given as a wedding gift. It is in excellent condition and the tinning, to the interior, is still good so it could be used. 

Price includes postage within the U.K. Shipping to the U.S.A. add £30. Western Europe add £10.
