Item 1932
Please note all pictures on our site are of the actual piece you will receive, not a stock photo of a similar piece. Additionally all our pieces unless marked otherwise are fully restored and seasoned. Just wash them and start cooking.
This is a very old kettle made by a small foundry using flask cast method. Stylistically its very much an early American piece with a heavy bottom gate mark, New England style ears, heavy triangular legs and a square section hand wrought bail. Side has a stylized crown like mark (inside what I think is a pair of wings) beneath the letters B and R with what looks to be a stylized flask which looks to have been an artistic interpretation of an ampersand (&) between the letters. There is a casting void (a hole) which goes all the way though the wall of the kettle about 2/3 of the way down that right “wing”. It is less than a 1/16” wide. Interior is beautifully smoothed with obvious pouring flaws still visible. \Yes you could use this but I think this should be a display piece.
Marked “B & R” please note the “&” is my interpretation of what the artistic flask between the letters is.
7” 7/8 diameter, ~5” 1/2 tall
Cleaned via lye method, hand buffed and seasoned with 3 layers of non-GMO canola oil.
No cracks, chips or wobble when tested on a sheet of glass. Cooking surface is beautifully smoothed for such an old piece, but has casting flaws.
