VINTAGE COPPER KETTLE with LID Handmade Rustic Primitive Country GREAT PATINA

This wonderful old antique kettle has lots of personality. It comes from the home of avid collectors of mid-century modern--as well as European and Asian antiques--which they acquired during their travels. We have no information regarding the provenance of this piece, other than that it is part of a group of copper pieces collected between the 1940's and 1980's--and we have no expertise in copper cooking vessels or implements. This kettle appears to be handmade of copper lined with tin, with a soldered spout and what may be iron or copper rivets holding the movable handle, which looks like bronze. The lid also seems to be copper lined with tin, with a simple 'pull handle' riveted to its top. The kettle may be American, Asian or European, and could be anywhere from 40 to 200 years old. There are no discernable maker's marks. This piece is quite distressed, with dents, dings, scratches, paint(?) spots, oxidation, rust, etc. We were told not to attempt polishing or strenuously cleaning it, so you will receive it in the exact condition you see in the photos. Approximate Measurements: 5½" high from bottom to top of lid, 9½" high to top of handle, 8½" wide including spout, 5¼" across kettle opening; weight: 1 pound, 13 ounces
