Antique Copper Water Cistern & Kettle
This striking antique set comprises a copper water cistern and a matching copper kettle. The cistern, featuring a tap, likely served as a domestic water heater in a Victorian-era home, providing hot water for washing or other household needs. The kettle, designed to sit atop or alongside the cistern, would have been used for boiling water for tea or cooking. Both pieces exhibit the craftsmanship typical of the period, with hand-hammered details and a rich patina developed over time.
Condition & Collectibility
The cistern and kettle show signs of age and use, with some minor dents and wear consistent with their age. The patina adds to their character and authenticity. This set would be a desirable addition to a collection of antique copperware or Victorian kitchenalia, appealing to collectors and those seeking unique decorative pieces with a historical connection.
