This kettle is in the form of a large cone. It has a detachable lid at its apex, surmounted by a spherical knop and secured by a flanged rim. The spout is a simple V-shaped piece of metal, placed just beneath the rim, and attached to the body by an outwardly turned flange. The handle is a flat strip of metal, bent at right angles in the middle so that the end points downwards. The base is a circular disc with a series of indented concentric rings. It has been separately pressed and is fixed to the body by the lower rim of the wall folded over the circumference.
