Description

Vintage Spartan Copper Kettle, English Pitcher & Korean Teapot Trio — Brass & Wood Accents

This trio of vintage copper vessels offers an appealing blend of global craftsmanship and mid-century charm. Included is a Spartan copper tea kettle, marked “Spartan Minneapolis U.S.A.”—a mid-20th-century American design featuring a brass spout, wood-accented brass handle, and domed lid with a turned wood finial. Accompanying it is a flared copper and brass pitcher marked “Made in England”, likely intended as a vase or serving piece, with a bold modernist silhouette. Rounding out the set is a bulbous copper teapot stamped “Made in Korea”, styled with a curving brass spout, wood-grip handle, and matching lid.

Each piece is constructed primarily of copper, with brass and wood details that highlight their utilitarian yet sculptural forms. Whether displayed together or used individually, these items bring warmth and character to any space.

Condition:
Good vintage condition overall. All pieces show signs of use, including surface wear, oxidation, and areas of verdigris, particularly to brass elements. The interiors are untested for functionality. No major dents or cracks noted—see photos for a closer look.
