The teakettle arrived as stated and was beautiful as is everything done by the artist Eva Zeisel.  The burnished finish is gorgeous and very elegant.  The slanted handle is just that extra touch of unique that is so Zeisel.  The teakettle is not only amazing in form, its technology makes it functional as well.

It is absolutely beautiful.  My mother will love this for a setting on her table and love tea-time.  Great value for such a beautiful piece and will make for a very merry Christmas.

I love this gravy boat!  It is a beautiful piece and the price is fantastic.  The design in very pretty and it seems to be authentic crystal (I don't really know how to tell), this item is not flimsy, it has some good weight to it and adds some nice shine to the table.  I bought it along with matching salt and pepper shakers, sugar packet holder, and a creamer set.  They are all good quality and beautiful.

I got this for my mom for Christmas, she drinks a lot of tea and wanted an electric kettle. I looked around for quite a while when I happened to stumble across this one. It is perfect. My mom likes very pretty, flowery things and the fact that it is ceramic is a major plus. It heats up very fast and works extremely well. She has it out on her counter and uses it everyday. I am very happy with this purchase and would buy again and will recommend.

Excellent teapot - just like described...high quality item with excellent design and usability...my wife loves it...I tried it with our regular teavana tea - and results were pretty good, I also like the way it disassembles for cleaning...definitely a good Pontique product.

My mother has an old Chantal tea kettle...it's very high quality.  This kettle is not. It's smaller than the old model, has cheap plastic parts on the spout, and only one of the two whistle tones worked. The instruction manual said to be careful using the pot on a gas stove as the whistle spout may melt if the fire is turned up too high or if the kettle is not centered over the fire.

The kettle was returned...

I had searched for quite a while to find a teakettle that I could fill from my refrigerator water spout. This has a moveable handle that makes filling possible. Another winning feature is that the whistle can be flipped up so that you don't have to hear it whistle every time you use it!  Of course, Le Creuset quality can't be beat. The style is different; I like the Zen style, and the size of the base fits nicely on my electric stove top.  I highly recommend this product!

I purchased this pot to match the Pink Petite Fleur Snack Sets. The pot is a nice shape and size, large enough for several snack set cups.

I love this teapot felt it was very reasonably price and is very pretty in person.  It matches very well with my other tea accessories and my wife loves having morning/afternoon tea more often now!

I had the same wonderful Chantal teakettle from the 1970s until recently. This is  n-o-t the same teakettle. I would happily pay more to get what I had. This one is lighter weight. It rarely whistles and when it does it is just a sad reminder of what my old Chantal was like. I think that the saddest part of all is that, had I emptied out my old teakettle as the instructions recommended, it would likely still be around. This is a pitiful excuse for what they used to be. That said, had I not had the OLD Chantal, I might would have given this one a higher rating.

This teakettle was just the right color for what my wife was looking for this Christmas.  She just mentioned one day that she was looking for a new teakettle.  This one is great.  She uses it several times a day. The only complaint is that spot where handle meets the kettle is a little flimsy or weak.  When the kettle is full - that spot feels like the handle could break right off.  So far, no breakage!

Out of several teapot/mug combinations I was able to find on the internet, this was the one my daughter wanted. She has an eye for beautiful design and rich colors, and loves the look and tradition of Le Creuset.

She also wanted an electric kettle to heat the water quickly. As it turned out, the cord on the teapot was too short considering where the outlet was...HOWEVER...she was delighted to find that the teapot was small enough to put in the microwave, and within a couple of minutes she has her hot tea and newspaper ready to enjoy. (The electric kettle was returned for a poultry roaster!)

It's very delicate and beautiful and very convenient to make tea. The whole teapot is excellent except for the small flaws on the handle.

I was the happy owner of a bright green Chantal tea kettle for over 20 years! I have burned up many a tea kettle in my time, so the harmonics of this kettle worked beautifully for me: I could hear it all over the house, even upstairs. It sounds a bit like the air raid sirens that went off in England during WW2. But it did what it needed to do, so I never, ever burned the kettle dry. And, it looked as good at the end as it did in the beginning. The reason I had to retire it was because corrosion finally worked its way into the carbon steel interior.

A friend of mine was staying with us who had a Chef's Choice electric tea kettle, which he kindly let me try. It was a completely new experience. I liked it enough to consider replacing my dead, but tried and true Chantal with this new convenience. I did considerable research on-line, reading reviews and manufacturers guides. I knew that a plastic kettle was out of the question because of water contamination from the plastic. Stainless steel seemed the way to go. It boiled down to the Breville, Chefs Choice or the Cuisinart KUA kettle.

But then I realized that no matter how good they are, the current pricey electric kettles simply do not have the capacity to last as long as the better stove tops. Most seem to be declining in quality. Buying any one of them seems to be a calculated risk. And the cost of these higher end kettles is enough that replacing them every 1,2 or 3 years is costly.

So, having flirted with the electrics and all their obvious conveniences, I find myself returning to the classic Chantal, though expensive and slower to heat. But, I anticipate another 20 years of dependable service.
Maybe this time I'll try the stainless.

This vase is very beautifully designed and crafted.  I was very pleased when i received it.  It was heavier glass than i was expecting.  I vought this as a gift for my mother who loves milk glass.

This is the most adorable teakettle, if there could be such a thing!  It makes me happy just to walk into my house and see it, it is so cheerful.  Seems very sturdy, no melting issues.

I absolutely love this kettle.  I had a glass one before this one, but it broke and didn't make any noise, so I decided to go with an enameled whistler.  The design is beautiful, the taste of my tea is clean, the whistle works, the handle feels good and solid, and the latch is easy to open and close when you need to pour or refill.  Just what I needed and it is very pretty and cheerful on my stove.  Happy, happy.

Riedel manufacturers the very best in glassware. Elegant, attractive and a perfect vessel for vintage scotch and whiskey.
