IMPORTANT: These are traditionally called tea kettles, but they really were used for home humidification purposes. Because they were used for years in that format, its very difficult to completely restore the inside of the kettles. This is a wonderful display piece for your home, OR for a functional humidifier. However because rust sets in on the inside of any humidifier, it is not for tea or beverage consumption.
Wagner Ware made these pieces from early 1900โs up until their purchase from GHC. We arenโt 100% sure of when this style was made, but one thing can be certain, its a pretty piece to own. Lovely gift idea
DISCLAIMER: We have prepared this piece to be ready to use or displayed in a collection. All pieces are vintage, and therefore are not in perfect condition. Their history of use means small marks and inconsistencies, including residual carbon, which we feel give them a special charm. All items are sold as is, and we have done our best to present them as such. Please review all pictures and ask for further clarification if needed. Thank you! - Cast & Clara Bell
