Michael Graves was an American designer & architect who appreciated the architecture of Rome. Not all Alessi products are made in Italy. Most are, and so is this kettle. While your question was not specifically for me, I do have one of these for sale. The one I have was personally engraved by Michael Graves, thus the price is much higher. Will it boil any better than the non-autographed kettle ? No, but it is special in that Michael Graves lived till March of 2015 and never wavered for good quality design. I can say that this particular kettle I have was opened and engraved by Michael at his Princeton, NJ offices where it was also designed - in the USA. **Q: Where are these kettles made?** A: I believe in Italy, an Italian you'll love forever! **Q: do you have to remove the bird to pour the water?** A: Yes. I have not tried to pour hot water through the bird. **Q: does this kettle work for induction cooktops?** A: It works perfectly fine on an induction cooktop. I've had my kettle since 1984 and it is indestructible. Funny thing is, on the induction cooktop it comes to a boil so quietly and quickly that at first it seems like it isn't heating. If I can give you some advice it would be to purchase a couple of extra little birds for it because they get fragile and break after a while (like several years). Amazing little tea kettle! ## Frequently Bought Together - Alessi Kettle, 9'' H x 8.5'' W x 8.5'' D, Blue - Alessi Michael Graves Sugar Bowl And Spoon - Alessi Michael Graves Creamer --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/295490051-alessi-michael-graves-kettle-with-bird-whistle-blue-handle](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/295490051-alessi-michael-graves-kettle-with-bird-whistle-blue-handle) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
