Antique English William Soutter Tea Kettle — C.1800

Dimensions: 10.5" W (with spout) x 10" H (with handle)
Early 19th Century

This antique English copper tea kettle is a rare oval-form piece by renowned British metalsmith William Soutter, one of the celebrated artisans of 19th-century English copperwork. Soutter was known for his ability to unite refined design with utility, often marking his pieces with his distinctive maker’s stamp and the letter B for his original factory location in Birmingham—before it was lost to fire. This kettle features a beautifully elongated gooseneck spout, a brass finial, hand-dovetailed seams, and a balanced oval silhouette that speaks to the craftsmanship of its era.
