The Alessi Kettle with Bird Whistle Teapot, designed by Michael Graves, 1985. The Alessi 9093 has sold more units than any other item in Alessi history. It is also one of the most sought after whistling kettles in the world. The Alessi bird kettle has a personality, with its simple geometry.
The dots on the bottom are to signify heat as the kettle is placed on the stove top. The shape of the grooved handle is blue to signify it is cool to touch. And of course the bird whistles.
The 9093 was designed to boil water faster than any other stove top kettle on the market. This was accomplished by giving the water kettle a broad base that fits on the stove top which then narrows towards the top creating a very efficient kettle.

This kettle is one of my favourites, not only does it help me make my favourite drink (tea) it also whistles to let me know it is done. The bird is a great feature and always gets talked about when people are over.
