Характеристики

A CSL Company hallmarked 1800s solid brass Spirit Kettle on a swinging stand. It sits in an open frame that allows it to swing so you can fill your cup, with tea. The stamp for the company is on the bottom of the Kettle that dates this to mid 1800s. This kettle is on a frame that would have a fuel burner under it to heat or keep the water inside hot to replenish the teapot.  The handle and the top of the knob in the lid are ebony and are in nice shape with no cracks in the wood, and they are smooth to the touch.The letter of provenance dates this 1836-7 and it states "Made in London, 1836-7.. maker...Charles Fox..un..leopard head..date maker A..Leon Passant..." This letter was in plastic bag in spirit kettle.  This kettle also has the stamp C.S.L. which would stand for the British Armed Forces, of the time.

This type of Kettle was called a spirit kettle because the burner under it used spirits to fuel a flame. A spirit kettle was used for brewing and was used to replenish hot water into a teapot for serving. Teapots at that time were usually small, and therefore the teapot needed to be refilled frequently. Many Spirit Kettles were quite ornate and were made of silver, copper or brass.  This one was used in the British Armed Forces/CSL and made by Charles Fox.

Measurements:
Kettle - 9" across from tip of spout to end of handle.
Lid - an oval that is 2 1/4" x 3 1/4"
Frame - 7" high x 7"W x 7.25"W

In nice antique condition with patina all over as well as a ding on the burner base, and slight bend on one leg (see pics).  Wear is excellent considering its age, from the 1800s.
