Black Victorian Kettle

Black Kettle 17 x 19cm

This heavy cast iron black kettle provides a great compare and contrast activity with the modern day kettle.

• In a Victorian kitchen it would either have been hung over an open fire or placed on the top of a kitchen range. Its weight, look and material not only provides an interesting historical enquiry activity but can also give a real sense of Victorian history at KS2.

• Why not use this with items from other historical periods and place them in date order to improve your pupil’s chronology, or see if your pupils can identify which are truly from Victorian times.
