DEMMEX CopperBull Heavy Gauge 1mm Thick Hammered Copper Tea Pot Kettle Stovetop Teapot (1.6-Quart)

I read a lot of reviews before buying this ( just over a month ago). I thought people who said it was fake may not be familiar with copper. I wasn't put off by the possibility of staining, because copper does that. But the first time I tried to clean it with copper cream, I tested the base and the deep orange colour came right off. It looks almost silver underneath, maybe a faint pinkish tone. The copper cream lightens my copper pans very slightly too but not too the same extent at all and the colour on my genuine copper pans is maintained. The kettle which is actually supposed to be a heavier ply than my pans does pass a magnet test but I do wonder if we're dealing with copper plate here, and I certainly don't think you can use copper cream to clean it as other reviewers have suggested. Also genuine copper items shouldn't peel as some reviews have indicated. I don't have peeling but I'm not sure about the piece. It's heavy and hand made which is nice but the lid fits poorly and I am still not sure if I've been cheated on quality here. Is this item what it says it is?

Nous l'avons utilisé et cette bouilloire est de très bonne qualité et elle se manie très bien lorsque l'on verse l'eau. Elle n'a pas de sifflet mais le couvercle sursaute lorsque l'eau boue.

Can't find my previous review, but I was wrong to vent my frustration with late delivery on the item. It is beautiful, and despite what you have read it works just fine. Bye the bye, it is lined with tin so you don't ingest copper which can be deleterious to your health over time. Cheers and Happy New year.

Beautiful tea pot, bigger than expected, but not copper. Tried it on our wood stove and it works perfectly, although it does take longer due to the uneven bottom.

I love this kettle it doesn't take long to boil on a gas hob, very well made, the only downside is the lid it could do with being a tighter fit when you tip it to get the last bit of water out it will fall off. It becomes discoloured after about a week of use but cleans up really well with a bit of tomato ketchup on a cloth, overall very happy
