19th Century Brass Tea Kettle is a charming reminder of a bygone era, when vessels such as this were hand-made by metal smiths trained in their skills by their forefathers. Note the hand-soldered seams and hand-hammered rivets. An intriguing onion dome shape has been hammered into the handle designed to isolate the user's hands from the hot vessel when filled with aromatic tea.
