This is a very pleasing aesthetic showpiece for your stove.  I am in the process of moving and wanted to wait until I moved -- too beautiful to wait.

It is not too big, or too small -- just the perfect size.  I couldn't wait for it to start whistling -- which did not take a long time.  Of course, the handle is very hot on this one.

I can just imagine the upcoming winter months curling up next to the fire and drinking some warm tea, hot chocolate, et cetera.  It is pleasing to look at, and you will be pleased.  With Viking, you can't go wrong!
