Curator's Notes

 

I love this tea kettle for how it makes the daily ritual of drinking tea more elegant and beautiful. The simple design and white color gives the kettle a minimalist appeal, but the touch of wood and classic enamel add warmth and familiarity. It emanates serenity, perfect for tea time! The black enamel interior is an unexpected detail that completes its charm.
