Description
This silver metal wall plaque carries one of the most welcome phrases in any British home, Put the Kettle on, set out in raised letters across a neat rectangular face. The words and a slim border stand proud of a textured background, and the darker recesses pick out every letter, so the phrase reads clearly from across the room and the finish has the gently aged look of a vintage sign. Its face measures 15cm by 5.8cm and it is 1.1cm deep, small enough to sit above a doorway or beside a cupboard without crowding the wall.
It belongs in the kitchen, of course, above the kettle or by the back door, but it is just as much at home in a utility room, a studio or an office kitchenette where the tea round is taken seriously. Because it is compact, it suits a narrow strip of wall between units or the end of an open shelf. As a gift, it is a cheerful choice for friends who are never far from a cuppa and always have the biscuits ready. We also think it makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift for a dad who likes his tea strong and his mug always full.
Two rounded lugs at either end each have a fixing hole, so the plaque screws flat to the wall and stays put. The silver finish needs very little looking after: dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and if it picks up a film of kitchen grease, wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. Hang it at eye level near where the kettle lives and it does its job every morning, quietly reminding the household whose turn it is. Wrapped up with a favourite mug or a box of good tea, it makes a small gift with a big smile in it.
