Technical details
Electric kettle with analog thermometer
This 1.7L electric kettle in stainless steel boils water fast for tea, coffee, or any hot beverage. The built-in analog thermometer dial lets you monitor temperature without guessing. Made from food-grade 304 stainless steel with a painted vintage design, it features auto shut-off for safety. US plug standard. Perfect for brewing loose leaf tea at precise temperatures.
The charm factor
A watercolor painting for your counter
Believe me, this electric kettle isn't just functional-it's a conversation starter. Robins, branches, and leaves hand-painted over soft almond green stainless steel make it look like a flea market treasure you've been hunting for years. Except it's brand new, and it actually boils water fast. Your kitchen just got prettier.
What you're getting
Vintage design meets modern kettle
The 304 stainless steel body is built to last, with a painted pattern in several colors that won't fade with daily use. That round analog thermometer at the center isn't just decorative-it's genuinely helpful for tea time precision. Auto shut-off keeps you safe. It's the real deal, sweetheart.
Picture this
Morning tea, no rush
You shuffle into the kitchen half-awake. This kettle sits there, vintage-pretty, waiting. Fill it, flip the switch, and watch the thermometer needle climb. In minutes, steam rises. You're pouring hot water over your loose leaf tea, checking that dial to hit the perfect temperature. No guessing. No burnt leaves. Just a quiet, beautiful moment before the day begins.
Real-world use
Fast boiling, no fuss
Between you and me, the thermometer is a game-changer. You're not hovering over the kettle wondering if it's hot enough. The dial tells you exactly where you are. At 1.7L, it fills enough mugs for you and a friend without being bulky. The auto shut-off means you can walk away and trust it. That's peace of mind in a pretty package.
What's inside
Everything you need, nothing extra
You'll receive one Vintage Bird Kettle, 1.7L, with the analog thermometer already installed and ready to go. It arrives in protective packaging so the painted finish stays pristine. Just unbox, plug it in (US standard outlet), fill with water, and you're ready to brew. No assembly required, no surprises.
FAQ
Questions about your kettle
How does the analog thermometer work?
The dial at the kettle's center shows water temperature as it heats. It's purely analog-no batteries needed. Perfect for checking if your water has reached the right temperature for different tea types without opening the lid.
Is 1.7L enough for multiple cups?
Yes. A 1.7L capacity fills about six to eight standard mugs, so it's great for you and a guest, or multiple brews throughout the morning. Plenty for most tea lovers without taking up too much counter space.
What's the painted finish like? Will it chip?
The design is painted over 304 stainless steel and built to handle daily use. The finish is durable, though like any painted piece, treat it gently. Hand wash rather than dishwasher to keep the artwork looking fresh longer.
Does it work with any US outlet?
Yes, it has a standard US plug. Just plug into any regular household outlet. The auto shut-off engages once water reaches boiling, so you don't need to monitor it.
How do I clean it?
Hand wash the exterior to preserve the painted design. The interior stainless steel is easy to rinse. For mineral buildup, descaling your electric kettle keeps it running smoothly and maintains the thermometer's accuracy.

What are your delivery times?
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, and US delivery usually takes 5 to 12 business days. You will receive tracking by email as soon as your order ships.
How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
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.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
Do you offer a warranty on your products?
Yes, all our products are guaranteed for 1 year against manufacturing defects, on top of the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
Absolutely. We offer a 30-day return policy: if a product does not suit you, email teatime@luluteapot.com and we will make it right.
