Know before you buy
Yes, this kettle is designed for functional use. However, because it is a vintage piece, we recommend using it on low to medium heat to preserve the integrity of the enamel and the walnut handle.
To maintain the kettle, use a soft sponge with mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals, which could further damage the enamel or the internal finish.
The chip is purely cosmetic and does not impact the kettle's ability to boil water. It is a common characteristic of vintage enamelware that adds to the piece's authentic history.
The walnut handle is designed to stay cooler than the metal body during use. As with any vintage kettle, use caution when touching the handle after extended boiling, as the heat can transfer over time.
Enamel-coated steel kettles are generally compatible with induction cooktops, provided the base is flat. We recommend checking your specific cooktop manual to ensure it recognizes the kettle's base material.
