Description

Small [two cup size] brass tea kettle or tea pot -- perhaps intended to be only decorative, since there is no evidence of use; perhaps India-made; tin lined. Flattened spherical body with ridge at "equator". Narrow, flattened spout with pronounced notched end, to prevent drips, placed in lower half of body. Small top opening with stepped lid and brass knob. Swinging, fancy-turned wooden bail handle supported on brass uprights with central convex curve and attached to brass flanges.
