Tea Kettle, Copper, Arts and Crafts
By Thomas R. Neil
Boston
Hammered brass
A rare, possibly unique piece

(Approximately 12-inches high to handle.)
American Arts and Crafts style form, heavy gauge hammered copper, spade tabs, dovetailed, turned wood grip on swing handle, stylized tulip shape finial, applied collar, signed on the bottom and on the back "THOMAS R. NEIL / BOSTON." Excellent condition. Although often associated with the Mid-West and West, Boston hosted the first Arts and Crafts Exhibition in 1897 featuring some 1000 objects in the new style. This is clearly not a mass produced item and, although certainly designed as a useful object it's more art than kettle, which may have been the maker's point.
