In the early 16th century, tea kettles came in a variety of colors: copper and non copper. Copper tea kettles were very popular during that day. As a great conductor of heat, copper was in such demand that a copper tea kettle industry was situated in the largest exporter of copper then, Wales. Because copper was mined in the Bridgend and Cardiff area, many tradesmen migrated to the city and began producing works based on copper because the material was inexpensive there.
You had Dutch and Turkish immigrants making copper kettles of high quality and value. It is widely believed that the drinking of tea started in this area by such immigrants and gained popularity with the colonization of Ceylon by the British and the discovery of its best selling product: Ceylon Tea Leaves.
Though stainless steel has replaced copper in most of the kettles these days, copper is slowly making a comeback and purchasing a copper based kettle has a premium on it. Stainless steel is tough though especially with the almost impenetrable 18/10 stainless steel. The designs of tea kettles by famous craftsmen can fetch prices of around 300 dollars. Improvement in paint technology enable enamel based paints to resist such heat. Of the colors that are popular, yellow tea kettles have this dainty feel. Perhaps because it resembles sunshine, yellow tea kettles are popular especially for tea enthusiasts having an afternoon cup. Such kettles come in different designs and price ranges. They can be found in the market or online. Here are but some of the various yellow tea kettles that may be a great gift for this Christmas season:
