Antique Brass Apple Butter Kettle — Riveted Iron Handle, c.19th Century
This antique apple butter kettle features brass over iron construction with classic riveted iron swing handles. Likely dating to the 19th century, this utilitarian piece was traditionally used for slow-cooking apple butter or rendering over open flame. The kettle has a wide basin, rolled rim, and sturdy forged handle marked “10,” indicative of its original capacity.
Its timeworn surface and golden patina reflect years of honest use, offering an authentic rustic presence. Whether displayed in a farmhouse kitchen or used as a decorative hearth accent, this kettle brings strong visual character and historical charm.
