Another view of a Colonial kitchen display in a museum with table and 2 chairs.. There is a display rack on the wall with a few odds and end. The fireplace has spoons handing from it and there appears to be a chest with a brass tea kettle and rye straw basket.
Typical copper tea kettle from Scandinavia. Only the handle has a shape similar to the handles of American copper tea kettles. The spout, body, and lid, are very different from those made in America
Provenance
