18th Century Hand-Crafted Copper Tea Kettle was hand-hammered from solid copper in a traditional teapot form, with low center of gravity and a swiveling handle that mounts to the body with hand-hammered copper rivets for ease in use.  There's even a flapper over the spout that is still quite functional, thank you.  Only the knob that is centered on the lid is of brass, with all other metal being copper that has been carefully formed, shaped and hand-soldered to last for centuries.  Note the dovetailed seams and imagine how much handwork went into its production...  Great as an accent indoors or out!
