I love this tea kettle, this is the best one I have ever had. The quality of this is amazing, the bottom is really think like some expensive cooke ware, I mean this wasn't inexpensive but still it is worth the price. I also like the retro look to it. The silver look add to the retro look. I highly recommend this if you want a quality / retro but could fix in to any decor. Thanks Timothy  :)
