To mark the Whistling Bird Teakettle’s 30th anniversary, Michael Graves Design redesigned the whistle, transforming the whistling bird into a fascinating mythological and futuristi c creature: something in between a dragon and a flying dinosaur. Symbolizing strength and fortune in Chinese culture, and gaining focus the world over with the popularity of Game of Thrones, the dragon was chosen as a good luck charm for the kitchen. Tea Rex remains distinguished by its contrast of materials—mirror-polished stainless-steel body and spout designed to boil water faster and thermoplastic handle, rivet details near the bottom and, of course, the new dragon whistle that sings when your water has reached a boil leading to an inevitable smile. Tea Rex is made in Italy and can be used on any type of cooktop, including induction. Made of 18/10 stainless steel Handle in polyamide thermoplastic resin Whistle in polyamide with copper metallic finish thermoplastic resin Replacement whistles are available from Alessi Designed by Michael Graves Design in 2015 Made in Italy Show more
