Old Dutch 2 Quart Solid Copper Teakettle With Wooden Handle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this kettle based on the description that it was "solid copper" even though it came with a lacquer coating that would have to be removed before heating water. It looked nice enough when I received it, but once I decided to tackle the lacquer removal, it took much longer for the lacquer to soften (20 - 30 minutes versus the manufacturers statement of 5-10 minutes) and when I started to clean the residue off of the surface (again following the manufacturer's instructions) the copper started to rub off!!!
After contacting the manufacturer, it turns out that it is only a copper finish, not solid copper, and the description was a "typing error" on the part of the manufacturer (per their communication). If you want a functional copper kettle, don't buy this one unless you don't care about still having a copper finish once the lacquer is removed. The copper coating is so thin, it will rub off with only one cleaning!
I am returning it ASAP!

Old Dutch 2 Quart Decor Copper Teakettle With Satin Finish And Wood Handle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This tea kettle is beautiful(or at least it was), but you have to go through a difficult process involving strong chemicals to remove the finish, if you actually want to use it and not just keep it as a decoration. Unfortunately, the handle didn't come off as easily as the directions implied and it got scratched. Eventually we decided to just leave the handle on and remove the lacquer from the kettle, but it also removed some of the black finish off the handle as well (turns out the handle is not iron as it appears in the picture). Now the kettle looks pretty bad and we are terribly dissapointed. I would not buy this product unless you were only using it for decoration.
