This print showcases a stunning kettle from 1883, crafted with exquisite detail and artistry. The kettle, measuring at a height of 19 cm, is made of copper, silver, and wood. It bears the mark of Gorham Mfg. Co. Providence, indicating its prestigious origins. The body of the kettle features delicate hammering throughout and is adorned with intricate silver storks, butterflies, and flowering branches. Its curved spout and fixed wooden handle add to its functionality while maintaining an elegant aesthetic. The removable cover boasts fluted hollows and is crowned by a beautiful ball finial. Every element of this piece has been meticulously designed to create a harmonious blend of form and function. This print captures the essence of orientalism through its floral motifs and decorative elements inspired by japonisme. It serves as a testament to the craftsmanship prevalent in American metalwork during the 19th century. Displayed against a neutral background in this image produced by eChristies Images for Bridgeman Images, every ornate detail shines through.
