About Richmond Kettle Company

Each Richmond tea kettle is made using only the highest quality pure copper, hand-crafted by English artisans. The techniques used to craft each kettle were developed over 100 years ago, and these same techniques are still used today. Each Richmond kettle available from J.L.

Whenever you make your tea, the reassuring quality of Richmond kettles will always add something extra special to your everyday occasions.
