MacKenzie-Childs Sterling Check Enamel Tea Kettle - 3 Quart

The Sterling Check 3-Quart Tea Kettle is for kitchens that take hospitality seriously. Three quarts in the silver-grey check that collectors describe as MacKenzie-Childs' most versatile pattern — refined enough for a formal dining room, relaxed enough for an everyday farmhouse kitchen, and scaled for the table that fills up. Better heat retention than the 2-quart between pours; fewer trips back to the stove mid-morning.

Hand-painted grey checks in subtle shades on heavy-gauge steel. The brass accents and glass knob finial are consistent across the Sterling Check stovetop range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Sterling Check 3-quart work on induction?
No — compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops only. For induction, the Sterling Check Electric Kettle is the right choice.

Is 3 quarts the right size for two people?
Yes — 3 quarts is ideal for two or more people making multiple hot drinks in a morning. For solo use, the 2-quart is more practical.

Does the 3-quart have the same finial as the 2-quart?
Yes — both the 2-quart and 3-quart Sterling Check stovetop kettles have brass accents with a glass knob finial.
