Rare Antique English Copper Picnic Kettle, c. 1850

This rare antique English copper picnic kettle is a true collector’s treasure, dating to circa 1850. Featuring a uniquely rounded body, graceful gooseneck spout, fitted copper lid, and sturdy copper handle, it was designed for outdoor excursions and rustic teatime in the 19th century. Fully restored for use, it blends function and heritage, making it an extraordinary example of antique English copper cookware. Its compact yet elegant form captures the ingenuity of the era—portable, durable, and timeless.

Part of our Coppermill Kitchen antique copper collection, this heirloom-quality kettle embodies both practicality and old-world charm. Perfect for display in a curated copper collection or styled as a centerpiece in a traditional kitchen, it also remains functional for tea and hot water. For styling, pair it with rustic linens on a farmhouse table, or place it on open shelving alongside larger kettles for contrast. To care, hand wash with warm water and mild soap, dry immediately, and polish sparingly to maintain shine—or allow the copper to age into its rich natural patina.
