I purchased this beautiful kettle in 2023, mostly to use as decor in my new kitchen. I did use it to boil water a handful of times. It is just about like new. I would say perfect condition other than some fine scratches on the bottom from my gas stove top. The color is so pretty! It’s a deep teal, kind of ombré. Here is the store description: • Crafted from lightweight carbon steel to quickly bring water to a boil • Vibrant porcelain enamel is non-reactive, non-porous, and resists stains, rust, scratches and flavor absorption • Fixed single-tone whistle alerts when water has reached a rolling boil, and can be easily flipped open for pouring • Convenient markings inside kettles note minimum and maximum water fill levels • Black handles and stainless steel handle brackets ensure secure handling • Compatible with all cooktops • Hand wash with warm soapy water
