This is one of several on eBay currently (click picture to see the listing). I have one of these -it’s charming – and I keep it on top of the fridge as seen on the show.

Lucy’s Swedish Coffee Pot
In the above picture from the I Love Lucy kitchen we see a Swedish style coffee pot by Svensk on the top of the fridge. This type of antique three legged goose neck kettle (sometimes described as a Turkish coffee pot, chocolate pot or teapot) is usually made of copper so it adds a nostalgic traditional touch to the kitchen decor.
I see a nice “Swedish Hand Hammered Vintage Arts and Crafts” one on Etsy this week HERE and another one on eBay pictured below:
The handle is hollow to hold a long wooden stick to be used when placing it over a hot fire without getting too close to the heat. Some people like the vintage patina on copper but you can bring back the shine by rubbng the copper with with a paste of vinegar and salt, or instead lemon juice and baking soda, or some use tomato ketchup.
