Since its introduction in 1985, the 9093 kettle (also known as the Graves Bird Kettle) has become one of Alessis most popular designs.  Composed of polished stainless steel with knob and bird whistle in black polyamide along with handle in black polyamide with gray decorative accents, the kettles form is a fabulous pastiche of decorative elements from Art Deco to Pop - all underscored with the designers sense of whimsy that helped make postmodernism accessible to a broad audience.  Its wide diameter base provides more contact with the heat source allowing water to boil faster - when the water boils, the kettles iconic bird whistle starts to sing.  Manufactured by Alessi.Designed in 1985.9.3 W, 8.3 D, 7.
