Purchased this kettle back in December and have been using it ontop of my woodstove to humidify the air. First off, what's pictured is a bronze/gold colored handle; however, when I got it, the handle was actually silver. It was a little annoying, but it was no bigie for me. I bought this because it has a porcelain enamel finish so the inside would not rust (as opposed to traditional cast iron kettles without an enamel finish). Well, after about 2 months of use, it began to rust on the inside. I looked at where it was rusting and it appears the inside of the kettle was not completely finished in enamel (looks like they missed some spots in the coating process). Contacted the seller and the only have a 30 day return policy so I'm stuck with it. :( Too bad for me, but maybe not for whoever might read this review.

After having Amazon (Thank you Amazon) replace the first pot because it chipped during shipping due to weak packing for such a heavy item, we received the second pot and it went badly from there. They coat the thing in lacquer, supposedly to deter rust, and my wife spent hours trying to get it off the bottom and out of the inside. She never did get it all.

The top is way too loose and falls to the side and hangs and yes it was put on correctly. When you put the springy handle on the pot you have to be extremely careful not to let the pointy edges touch the pot as it will chip. Ours chipped pushing the handle end through the holes. We were stunned at how easy it chipped.

It is now an ornamental piece because my wife will never use it to heat water for tea and the chipped areas means it will not sit proudly on our wood burning insert hearth. I would look around first and make this your last choice. We are already looking for another pot (different brand) from Amazon.

We purchased this kettle as a humidifier for the wood-burning stove. The color is amazing and the kettle is sturdy. You will have to assemble the handle yourself and we found out why: it easily chips the coating over the cast iron. I made it worse by clipping in the handle, then realizing how it is supposed to assemble (lid loops over rear handle hole, metal ring over lid loop, THEN insert the handle). There were instructions for curing the metal, but not for assembly so in my eagerness to put the handle on I realized my mistake. The beautiful coating chipped putting the handle on as well as taking it off. I recommend the kettle, but just assemble it right the first time.

I have had one of these for about ten years. It's rusty on the inside but the outside finish is flawless. I just polished it. Looks good.
