Limited Production, Long Seller Masterpiece

This exceptionally rare and limited-production Stainless Steel Straight Kettle by Kobo Aizawa is celebrated for its elegant simplicity. Coveted by "kettle aficionados" and those with an eye for design in Japan and beyond, it has been regarded as a masterpiece of minimalist design for over a decade since its introduction. The satin (matte) finish expertly conceals water spots, while the slender spout ensures precise pouring into cups or teapots. Its wide opening facilitates effortless cleaning, and the broad base allows for quick boiling, making it a sophisticated addition to your daily routine. This kettle is also compatible with up to 200V induction heating.

Packaged in a dedicated box, it serves as both a practical choice for your home and a thoughtful gift for any occasion.
