Vintage Copper Kettle & Coal Scuttle Set — Porcelain Handles, 7 pcs
This distinctive 7-piece collection includes six vintage copper kettles and one coal scuttle, each adorned with hand-painted blue-and-white porcelain handles and knobs in a traditional Delft-inspired floral motif. Ranging in form from rounded to fluted, these kettles showcase unique shaping and character—from hammered textures to gleaming smooth finishes. The accompanying coal scuttle features brass lion head mounts and an elegantly curved handle with matching porcelain grip.
Likely European in origin and dating to the mid-20th century, this set reflects a blend of decorative and utilitarian craftsmanship. The blue-and-white porcelain elements evoke the influence of classic Dutch Delftware, while the copper and brass constructions offer rustic charm and warmth—ideal for farmhouse or cottage décor.
Whether displayed together or individually, these pieces make a beautiful statement in a vintage kitchen, hearth setting, or collector's showcase.
