I think these teapots are beautiful to look at and I have one decorating my kitchen. Unfortunately they are not very practical for actually making tea! The handle is difficult to hold and it tends to get extremely hot (which makes it even MORE difficult to hold using potholders!). I do recommend as decoration, but get a different teapot if you actually want to make tea!

I thought this teapot would be a great addition to my Fiesta collection - I bought it in cobalt. It looks great on display, and I've occasionally used it to hold flowers, but it is virtually worthless as a teapot. The pour spout causes tea to run down the side of the pot and tea pretty much goes everywhere but in the teacup. Only buy this if you're looking for a collectible - if you're looking for a good teapot for tea, look elsewhere.

Holds 4-5 cups and is a beauty. A rolly polly design and I find it easy to handle. It is meant to be grasped with two fingers and one thumb with the other fingers as a under brace. Using the other hand you cradle it to pour. You can see mine on my webpage where I keep it on the top of my refrigerator for daily use.

Easy to clean and I like the lip on the spout which helps prevent drips. The lid stays in place and has never come off while pouring.
