Description from the seller


An intriguing antique electric water boiler featuring a distinctive copper or copper-alloy body, a sturdy metal handle, a glass side indicator and an original-looking electrical connection assembly. Its functional industrial design and naturally aged surface give this piece the authentic character of early electrical household appliances.

Estimated to date from the early to mid-20th century, approximately 1920–1940, this object belongs to the era when electricity was increasingly transforming everyday domestic life. Such appliances represent an interesting chapter in the history of household technology, combining practical engineering with the craftsmanship and materials characteristic of the period.

The vessel measures approximately 33 cm in height, with a base diameter of 21 cm. The aged metallic surface displays signs of wear and oxidation consistent with its apparent age, contributing to its vintage industrial appeal.

The appliance has not been tested, and its operational condition remains unknown. It is therefore offered primarily as a historical collectible, decorative industrial object or an addition to a collection of antique electrical equipment and early domestic appliances.

A characterful piece of vintage industrial design, suitable for collectors of technological antiques, early electrical devices and distinctive objects from the first half of the 20th century.

Period: Probably early to mid-20th century, circa 1920–1940.
Materials: Copper or copper alloy, glass and other metal components.
Dimensions: Height approximately 33 cm; base diameter approximately 21 cm.
Condition: Vintage condition, with visible wear and oxidation. Functionality untested.

Please note: The precise manufacturer, country of origin and date have not been established. The dating is an estimate based on the apparent design and construction, not a confirmed attribution.
