Early 19th Century
This antique English copper tea kettle is a stunning example of early 19th-century collectible teaware, handcrafted by the renowned Birmingham metalsmith William Soutter. Marked with his signature maker’s stamp and the letter “B” for the Birmingham factory he operated before it was lost to fire, this piece showcases Soutter’s dedication to refined craftsmanship. It features a beautifully intact porcelain handle—rare to find in such pristine condition—a graceful gooseneck spout for an elegant pour, dovetailed seams, and a hand-cut brass handle and finial. Its charming oval form and warm patina make it both a functional and decorative treasure.
