Cast Iron Tea Kettles
The cast iron tea kettle was once used on a daily basis by our frontier women and ranchers. There was nothing like the warmth that came off that big old black tea kettle as it sat on the wood cookstove. When hot water was needed, it was always ready.
In todays home building, there has been a swing into recreating, or replicating many of the early designs that give the modern designs a true feel of home comfort. Along with adding in a room or two like that, the homeowners also want to embellish those rooms with a few of the early pieces of accessories that may have been of that time period. Candle sticks, lanterns and even toys are common additions, but so is the old cast iron tea kettle.
There is nothing more appealing or comfy then a fireplace burning on a cold night. Its appeal is worldwide popular. Adding in the right fireplace tools and a time period cast iron tea kettle seems to bring that appeal together in a more complete fashion.
While you can still find many of the original ones available, you may find the price for a replica cast iron tea kettle more favorable to your decorating budget.
If you have an antique cast iron tea kettle sitting in your storage area, you may want to clean it up a bit and sell it. They are selling for a nice chunk of change if you can authenticate its age at all. Personal documentation of where you got it and any other history will add to the price.
