Know before you buy
This kettle is compatible with gas, electric coil, ceramic, and halogen cooktops. It is not suitable for induction stovetops.
Yes, for the longevity of the enamel finish, you should only use this kettle on low to medium heat settings. High heat can damage the hand-painted surface.
Hand wash the kettle with mild soap and dry it immediately to preserve the luster. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals that could scratch the hand-painted pattern.
While the handle is designed for comfortable pouring, it can become warm during use. We recommend using a pot holder or oven mitt when handling the kettle after boiling water.
Absolutely. Because of its iconic design, many owners use it as a centerpiece or a vase for fresh flowers when it is not being used to boil water.
