Antique Hammered Copper Kettle w/ Lid — Verdigris, Old Repairs, 19th C

A handsome antique hammered copper kettle featuring a well-aged verdigris patina and its original lid with looped finial. Likely 19th century, this utilitarian piece exhibits traditional hand-forged construction, including a riveted handle with decorative scrolled brackets and a gracefully arched spout.

The kettle shows authentic signs of age and use, with scattered dents and dings, especially near the base and spout. Both areas exhibit very old repairs—testament to its long service life. The textured surface, natural oxidation, and craftsmanship details like dovetailed seams make this a wonderful display item, whether for a rustic kitchen, hearth vignette, or collector’s shelf.

Rich in character and history, this kettle offers visual impact and artisan integrity in equal measure.
