HELLO AND WELCOME TO THIS sale FOR A SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT & VERY BEAUTIFUL, ANTIQUE SILVER PLATED SPIRIT TEA KETTLE SET.

A FABULOUS & VERY DESIRABLE PIECE, OF STUNNING SHAPE & STYLE, IN THE FINEST CONDITION TOO.

TO THE BASE IS THE WELL KNOWN TRADEMARK SYMBOL OF AN ' OIL LAMP '. THIS IS FOR THE FINE SHEFFIELD SILVERSMITHS ' ROBERTS & BELK '. THE KETTLE ALSO BEARS THE NAME OF THE LONDON RETAILER ' BENETFINK & CO ' OF CHEAPSIDE.

THIS MOST WONDERFUL, VICTORIAN SPIRIT KETTLE IS OF A VERY FINE SHAPE & FORM.

ALTHOUGH IT IS BY NO MEANS THE LARGEST OF KETTLE SETS, IT IS BY FAR ONE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY ONES AVAILABLE.

THE STAND IS JUST THAT BIT THICKER THAN NORMAL & IS LAVISHED WITH AN EVEN RICHER GAUGE OF SILVERING.

AS TOO IS THE BEAUTIFUL, OVOID SHAPED KETTLE THAT SITS ON TOP.

IT FEATURES A FINE 'WAVY' FLUTING TO THE LOWER HALF & HAS A MAJESTIC, RAISED COLLAR TO THE TOP.

THE FLUSH FITTING LID IS SILKY SMOOTH & TO ITS CENTRE IS A POLISHED, EBONY WOOD FINIAL.

ARCHING OVER THE TOP OF THE KETTLE IS A MAGNIFICENT HANDLE.

WITH LOVELY SCROLLED SIDES, FITTED TO A FINELY POLISHED FRUIT WOOD HANDLE IN THE CENTRE.

THE STAND IS EQUALLY STUNNING TOO.

WITH 4 X THICK & STRONG LEGS, STYLED IN A 'COLUMN' FORM, EACH WITH A BALL FOOT FOR STABILITY.

THE TOP RING OF THE STAND, WHERE THE KETTLE SLOTS INTO, FEATURES AN ARRAY OF REEDED BANDS. SUPERB.

THERE IS A DOME SHAPED BURNER, THAT HAS FLUTING TO ITS BASE. THIS SITS NEATLY INSIDE THE RETAINING RING INBETWEEN THE STANDS LEGS.

ALTHOUGH I HAVE SEEN MANY IN THIS STYLE, I MUST ADMIT THAT THIS IS BY FAR THE FINEST OF EXAMPLES.

NOT ONLY IS ITS CONDITION AMAZING & WONDERFULLY CLEAN, BUT THE THICKER STYLE OF THE STAND & QUALITY OF THE KETTLE MAKE THIS SET THAT BIT MORE SPECIAL. A TRUELY STUNNING PIECE.

A PERFECT ITEM TO STILL ENJOY & USE, AS WELL AS AN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO ANY FINE COLLECTION.
