This antique German copper tea kettle is a rare and distinctive piece of early 20th-century craftsmanship, dating to circa 1910. Uniquely designed with a scalloped body and matching lid, it showcases a striking mixed-metal aesthetic with its original brass handle and brass lid finial. Stamped on the base with Rein Kupfer 22 and a shamrock—the mark of famed maker Christian Wagner, whose legacy dates back to 1524—this kettle reflects the artistry and tradition of German copperware. Large in size at 3 quarts, it has been beautifully restored for use while retaining its old-world character.
Part of our Coppermill Kitchen antique copper cookware collection, this heirloom-quality German kettle embodies both function and artistry, perfect for collectors of European copper kitchen decor. Style it as a centerpiece on a stovetop or display it among a copper collection to highlight its rare scalloped design and brass accents. To care, wash gently by hand with warm water and mild soap, dry thoroughly, and polish sparingly to maintain shine—or allow the copper to patina into its natural vintage copper cookware finish.
