Editorial Review

Decorative and graceful, this teakettle harkens to the days of wood-burning stoves. There’s no whistle to pierce your ears, just a slender S-shaped spout that pours without dripping. In concession to modern times, the zinc cast handle features a heat-resistant phenolic grip, and the lid knob is made of the same substance. Polished to a mirror finish, the 18/10 stainless steel will not rust and only needs a soft rub with a cloth to stay shiny. The 9-1/2-inch-high teakettle measures 9 inches across the bottom, providing greater heating surface and a quicker boil. --Ann Bieri

Summary:	avoid it
Comment:	I bought this two months ago, and after one month I happened to look inside when I filled it and saw that the water was full of flakes; the bottom was falling apart. needless to say i tossed it in the trash, and now i'm even more annoyed to see that though I paid 35 dollars for it is now 14.99. not worth it either way.

Summary:	Pricey but nice
Comment:	This is a good product although it would sell better if a bit cheaper when you figure in shipping. It's nothing out of the ordinary and a little hard to keep clean, like any other tea kettle, but I would recommend it to others.

Summary:	Fabulous
Comment:	I love this tea kettle. It looks great to start with and is nice and quiet, but you can still tell the water is ready. I think it is wonderful.

Summary:	WILL RUST & ONLY 1.4 QT!
Comment:	WARNING: THIS IS ONLY 1.4 QT (not 2.5 QT as both Copco & Amazon claim). THIS IS NOT 18-10 Stainless Steel as Amazon claims. (even Copco admits in the tiny-font "Kettle Care" insert that RUST will occur if ANY water remains). Additionally, the phenolic handle can get VERY HOT (even Copco admits in the tiny-font "Kettle Care" insert: "ALWAYS USE A POTHOLDER"). And, the handle support/frame is cast zinc (again, NOT Stainless Steel) and subsequently will corrode and/or oxidize to a dull/white appearance. So, if you ONLY need a classical decorative item, this may be just fine at 15 bucks. (the capacity of 1.4 QT is at Copco's own marked "MAX FILL" line, which, again, Copco states in the tiny-font "Kettle Care" insert and is printed on the kettle front) WARNING: at the erroneously claimed 2.5 QT capacity, this kettle will spray boiling-hot water upon a contiguous area ~12" from the spout tip! (Amazon really needs to 'clean-up' their numerous & growing product description errors! As the world's leading online purchasing site, that should be Goal #1; in a completely digital shop, that's our primary source of info!) (As for the vendor Copco, don't know why they can't simply tell the truth!?!) Finally, to quote Seinfeld, "What's the deal with all these teapots, anyhow?!" (seriously, we've been looking for YEARS for a quality thang-to-boil-water-in-with- a-spout-and-lid)
