Actually that first one is fantastic!! Its designed for people who don't have the ability to lift a kettle, like frail elderly folk who no longer have the strength to lift a container full of boiling water and pour it without risking catastrophic burns to themselves.
Instead, they fill the kettle up where it stands by pouring a glass or two of water into it, and then, to pour it out once its boiled, they just have to tilt the handle. The whole thing tilts safely in the cradle and pours the hot water out with no risk of dropping the whole kettle, or shaking and missing the mug and spilling boiling water everywhere, or doing damage to frail bones/muscles that are trying to lift something too heavy to manage.
Tilting kettles may look odd, but they actually help retain a measure of independence for people with physical limitations. Elderly folk, people with muscular deterioration, people who've had strokes, people with various physical disabilities -- the list goes on. These kettles give them the ability to safely do something that you or I wouldn't even think twice about -- namely: make themselves a cup of tea or coffee.
Heres another couple of photos, because the one up there is a bit dark and doesn't quite showcase the style properly:
(All the rest of the kettles shown in this post are cursed though. The tipping kettle is helpful and fantastic, but all the others are crimes.)
