Title: Beautiful but NOT functional
Product review: This is a beautiful tea kettle, however, it has some annoyances and some major flaws. The annoyances are that the handle does get hot and the whistle needs to be removed before pouring. The flaws are that if you do not fill the kettle completely before boiling water, the spout gets very hot and when you pour, boiling water spatters all over the place. On one occasion, so much steam had built up as a result of the hot spout, that the lid popped off and burned my hand. Be very careful when you use this kettle and make sure to fill it to the edge of the spout before using.
