Solid copper kettle crafted in Portugal during the 1960s, this piece is an excellent example of classic European craftsmanship. It features a striking, swept-back brass handle, a unique short removable whistle spout and its original black Bakelite heat-insulated finial tip. With a functional 48-ounce (approx. 1.5-quart / 6-cup) capacity, this kettle is as practical as it is beautiful. The warm copper body has developed a rich, authentic patina that highlights its vintage history. It makes an exceptional functional stove-top piece or a high-end decorative accent for farmhouse, rustic, or eclectic kitchen decors.
