This lovely looking kettle arrived after some delay but it arrived safely and well packed.  It is described as a whistling kettle, but like two previous though different kettles, it does not whistle.  This one made something towards the sound of a whistle but it does not properly whistle, and, after all, that is why one buys a whistling kettle.  Otherwise, it seems fine, looks nice, comfortable to hold.  I would not recommend this as a whistling kettle, but as a kettle which boils water and looks nice, fine.  I thought it a little expensive.
