MacKenzie-Childs Emerald Check 2 Quart Tea Kettle

Emerald Check is the color story that MacKenzie-Childs collectors who love the check aesthetic but want something bolder reach for. Deep emerald green in the signature grid — rich enough to anchor a kitchen on its own, unexpected enough to make people stop and look. The 2-quart is the everyday size: quick to boil, right for one to four cups, at home on the stove or filled with greenery on the counter between uses.

The hand-painted emerald checks are color-dragged across a hand-glazed steel underbody in a range of green hues, so each piece varies slightly. It's the depth of that variation — no two identical — that gives MacKenzie-Childs enamelware its handmade quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Emerald Check Kettle work on induction?
No — compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops only. Use on low to medium heat and never boil dry.

Is the green colour consistent across pieces?
No — the checks are hand-painted with color-dragged technique across a range of green hues, so each piece varies slightly. This variation is the hallmark of genuine MacKenzie-Childs handcraftsmanship.

What's the difference between the 2-quart and 3-quart?
The 2-quart (7" base, 10.25" tall) suits one to four people for everyday use. The 3-quart is better for larger households or entertaining.

How does Emerald Check differ from Courtly Check?
Same check geometry, entirely different palette. Courtly Check is classic black-and-white; Emerald Check is a rich, saturated green. Both use hand-painted color-dragged enamel on heavy-gauge steel.
