Villeroy & Boch Cottage Kitchen Teakettle

Comment: This teapot is gorgeous. It's one of the prettiest I've ever owned. It looks so good on the stove that you feel it should be on display somewhere
else. It is smaller than the teapots I usually own but for something this
beautiful, I've kept it and am using it just fine.

Comment: I love Villeroy & Boch's Cottage pattern, which is why I decided on getting this kettle over other similar ones. Like the previous reviewer said, it is very beautiful and fits into most decor. You have to be careful in maintaining it though; the instructions say to thoroughly dry the kettle as soon as you're done to avoid rust in the interior (a hassle if you ask me). Also, my major gripe is that the spout drips when pouring --- a dangerous thing since we're dealing with boiling water. All in all, it's an okay kettle, not greatly designed. I will probably keep it just because it looks nice on my stovetop. But my quest for the perfect teakettle continues!

Comment: I haven't used the teapot--I'm planning to give it as a house gift. But it is a thing of beauty. A truly lovely looking piece that would fit in beautifully with country decor, but probably would be at home in any but the most modern kitchen.
