ALESSI Melody-style Whistling Kettle

I received this item from an acquaintance who bought it for around 20,000 yen at a flea market. New ones seem to cost close to 70,000 yen. The brilliance of the stainless steel's luster is truly remarkable. The whistle part is made of brass. While a normal whistle just makes a peep sound, this one is designed to play a kind of melody. The shine and form are impressive, but there is a defect: the handle, which appears to be made of synthetic resin, melts when the gas flame is at its maximum. The handle of this item has also melted (please refer to photos 1 and 6). The handle still moves, but there is no issue with its use. When I inquired about repairs with the Japanese Alessi branch, they informed me that repairs can only be done in Italy, and that obtaining a replacement handle from Italy would cost tens of thousands of yen. The body has a few small scuffs near the bottom, but overall it is in good condition with a strong shine. The dimensions are approximate amateur measurements: width 24cm, diameter 16.5cm, height 21cm, capacity 2L, and weight approximately 1.5kg. This item appears to be quite old, but its history is unknown. This is a used item, not new, and we ask that only those who can accept the damage to the handle consider purchasing it. Please understand that we cannot accept complaints, refunds, or returns after the purchase process is complete.
