Beautiful retro aesthetics meet high-powered contemporary performance in a die-cast, powder-coated steel kettle. This kettle makes it a breeze to heat water for tea, oatmeal and more. Featuring a 360 degree swivel base and easy-to-read water level indicators, the kettle shuts off automatically when water reaches a boiling point, when the jug is lifted from the base or when it's empty. A soft-opening lid prevents the sudden release of steam.
