A 1940’s Piquot Ware kettle in great condition and a wonderful,  Art Deco inspired design .
The dome style ‘K3’ kettle was designed in 1938 by Jean Picquot and was chosen for the “Britain Can Make It” Exhibition in London which ran at the V&A for 14 weeks in the autumn of 1946.
Made of Magnalium, an aluminum alloy specifically developed for the range which can be  polished to a high shine. The handle is sycamore and has a warm patina. Suitable for gas or electric hobs. 
Picquot ware was cast in one piece to minimise leaks when pouring, and like the teapots, this kettle has a great, no drip spout. 
Height: 19 cm 
Diameter at base : 21 cm
