🔍 Provenance / Maker Notes
This kettle belongs to a tradition of Arts & Crafts copper ship’s kettles made in Britain during the late 19th to early 20th century. Such vessels, with their wide bases and sturdy handles, were used aboard ships and also admired as domestic and decorative items. The impressed “4” is most likely a size or workshop production mark rather than a maker’s signature, as was common with utilitarian copperware of the period. Comparable examples have been attributed to regional workshops in Britain and are collected today as part of the broader Arts & Crafts metalworking movement.

📏 Measurements
