Description: | Large kettles such as this one were normally used for re-filling the teapot at the table. The fruit-like form on the lid of the kettle is based on a melon. At this time melons were expensive and would have been considered as exotic. This tea-kettle consists of a stand and the kettle itself; these two elements were made at different times. The base of the stand, which dates from 1806 was probably originally part of a table centre-piece adapted for use with the tea kettle, which was made in 1849. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East metalwork craft art designers makers date period design | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
