This is a vintage Indian brass decorative kettle with a wooden handle grip. It has a Made in India label on the base and a handwritten note inside dated August 1993, suggesting it was bought as a souvenir. The kettle is decorative only and not intended for use.
It measures approximately 11.5cm in height with the handle raised, 12cm in length and has a 6cm base diameter. Weight 167g. In good vintage condition with patina and light surface wear from age. The handle mounts and lid are secure and the kettle presents well as a display piece.
A nice example of late 20th-century Indian brassware and ideal for decorative styling or collecting.
