Care for a cup?
The stovetop’s in for a real treat, since it’s about to meet one of these vintage finds. There’s a whole lineup of well-loved kettles and coffee pots here, each one carefully restored to bring back its original shine. Snag the gem that catches your eye most:
- JS&S Coffee Pot, Late 19th Century: This one comes from famed English hollowware maker Joseph Sankey & Sons, complete with an easy-grab handle and brass knob finial on the lid.
- French Kettle with Porcelain Handle, Mid 19th Century: It’s brimming with charming details, like a gooseneck spout, a flower-shaped brass knob on the lid—and let’s not forget the original porcelain handle.
