The company was founded in 1815, and registered many patents trying to find a process to bond metals together.

Standing alone the kettle measures 11 inches high and 10 inches wide from handle to spout. A ribbed design decorates the kettle which has a movable handle. The base has ornately decorated feet and holds the original burner.

The piece holds 16, eight ounce cups to the top of the rim. Two pegs with chain are attached to the base and fit into a corresponding section of the kettle to hold it in place. To pour one would remove the back peg and tilt the kettle forward. A striking piece with that will definitely impress when used.
