Love it in the photos, but I wasn't aware that most tea kettles can't be used on a gas stove which is what I have.. Then, I must not have been paying attention to all the details, as when the box was delivered I wondered what was so heavy...this kettle weighs 4 lbs. and hold 2 quarts of water....that's another 4 lbs. My own not paying attention shopping fail!  But a very charming, well constructed vessel for those who are considering it.
