Arts & Crafts Era Copper Ship’s Kettle – Hand-Riveted Nautical Form, c.1900
£ 85.00
On offer is a handsome and sculptural copper ship’s kettle from the Arts & Crafts period, circa early 20th century. Its wide conical base and angular handle suggest both industrial functionality and thoughtful design, likely made for use aboard a ship where stability and durability were paramount.
The warm, aged copper finish and honest riveted seams reflect the era’s dedication to craftsmanship and form following function — making it a striking piece of early design that works equally well in rustic, coastal, or eclectic interiors.
📌 Key Features:

✅ Condition: Original patina preserved, with minor dents and surface wear appropriate for age
✅ Dimensions: 8″ tall, 10.75″ base diameter – display-worthy size
✅ Rare design – not commonly seen in the open market
💡 Styling Tip:
Display as a focal point on open shelving, mixed with stoneware or iron. Beautiful on a kitchen hearth, garden room, or styled with books and nautical relics. Its sculptural silhouette lends depth and character to any corner.
🎁 Perfect For:
✔️ Lovers of industrial, coastal, or vintage design
✔️ Collectors of antique cookware or nautical artifacts
✔️ Thoughtful gift for a designer, chef, or seafaring enthusiast
✔️ Statement piece in heritage or cottagecore interiors
