Product Details
Porcelain Kettle With a Timeless Japanese Soul
White porcelain, a vintage Japanese silhouette, and a 1100 ml capacity: that's the whole honest story. No flashy finishes, no unnecessary bells and whistles. Just a well-proportioned stovetop kettle that looks like it belongs in a quiet Kyoto kitchen. Mind you, porcelain has its own personality. It heats beautifully and keeps that clean, neutral taste in your water, which any serious tea drinker will tell you matters more than people think.
In Action
Kettle On, World On Hold
Picture this: it's early, the house is still quiet, and you set this little white kettle on the burner. While it heats up, you measure your loose leaf, breathe for a second, and just exist. That's the scene this kettle was made for. Whether you're brewing a delicate green tea or a robust oolong, the 1100 ml capacity gives you enough water without the waste. Well now, that's a good morning.
Everyday Use
Practical Enough for Every Single Day
1100 ml is a sweet spot, let me tell you. Big enough to fill a teapot and have a little left over, small enough that it heats up quickly and doesn't hog the whole burner. Porcelain stays neutral, so it won't add any metallic taste to your water, which is a real win if you're brewing something delicate. Between you and me, once you've used a porcelain kettle, going back feels a little sad.

FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
How much water does this kettle hold?
This porcelain tea kettle holds 1100 ml, which is just over 37 oz. That's comfortably enough for two large mugs or a standard teapot, without having to refill mid-session. A nice size for one or two people, believe me.
Is this kettle safe to use on my stovetop?
This kettle is designed for stovetop use. That said, porcelain behaves differently from stainless steel or cast iron, so always check that your specific stovetop type is compatible with porcelain before you fire it up. When in doubt, start on a low flame.
Will the porcelain affect the taste of my water?
Not at all, and that's one of the nicest things about porcelain. It's a neutral material that won't add any metallic or mineral taste to your water. For delicate teas like white or green, that clean neutrality makes a real difference in the cup.
How do I clean and maintain a porcelain kettle?
Rinse it after each use and avoid harsh scrubbers that could scratch the surface. Mineral buildup can happen over time, especially in hard-water areas. Our guide on how to descale a tea kettle walks you through the whole process gently and safely.
Does this kettle come with anything else in the box?
The box contains one Japanese vintage white porcelain tea kettle, 1100 ml. No infuser, no extra accessories. Just the kettle itself, ready for your stovetop. If you need a strainer or infuser to go with it, hold on, we have plenty of options in the shop.

Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
