Product Description:
The 9093 Alessi Hob Kettle with Bird continues to go from strength to strength.

He has an incredible ability to tune into public taste, even that of the man on the street: he is not a lover of theory, but he once admitted his wish to help create an 'American Style'. Design: Michael Graves, 1985 for Alessi, Italy. Approximate size: 2qt 3oz - h 9"""

I wish I'd taken better care cleaning it ... Read More
