Rare Antique Fisher Adelaide Copper Kettle Star-Shaped Marine Base Circa 1890

Please check the Photos. Good condition, commensurate with the age, as per the photos. Offered for sale is a highly collectable and rare example of Australian copperware: a Fisher Adelaide "Conical" Kettle. This piece is distinguished by its incredible eight-point star recessed base, a specialized "high-rise" heat-intensifying design. Historically, this feature was used on marine vessels or over spirit lamps to maximize surface area for a faster boil and to provide stability on heating rings. Great item for the collector.
