I guess they made them in both countries. I inherited mine and it has been passed down at least 5 generations that I know for a fact. I remember my great-grandmother had it when I was little and knew it had already been handed down a few generations before that. It still is my go to cake pan. It’s better than anything I can buy today.

Masonboro asked you a question like 18mos. ago & you haven't answered the question, nor even acknowledge the person who's inquiring about an amazing piece of early Americana, the industrial boom, also (this is one man's opinion) I wholeheartedly believe that no 2 Tea Kettles are or will ever be the same, which tells me that artisans, craftspeople, very talented creative minds were given the chance to express themselves through design and uniqueness of the highest quality I've ever laid eyes on personally, which reminds me of "American Folklore Arts & Crafts". Honestly I'm no expert, well educated, armed with ammo to stand my ground, and the ground in which I stand is that from my upbringing. Meaning long story short, my mom was born August 20, 1910 and being the people who they were, I grew up surrounded by her grandparents furnishings, paintings, & things, etc.... Therefore I believe that I'm an authority whenever it comes to antiquities and such. However the question directed to you remains unanswered....
