This is a silver teakettle that is square in shape and its cover, handle, base and spirit lamp beneath are square, as well. The piece is brimming with ornamentation, which has been achieved using two design processes: repousse, (hammering a decoration from the back of the piece) and chasing (hammering a decoration on the front of the piece). The kettle is replete with berries, butterflies, leaves and vines and the cover has a foliate knob on top.
