We love Fiesta and have been using it as our daily ware for years, but this teapot is one of a few Fiesta examples of form over function. The lines and design are classic Fiesta, but the function as a teapot is almost dangerous. The lid is ill-fitting and leaky, the impossible-to-hold handle gets hotter than the hinges of Hades, and the design engineer never gave this the final "dribble-test" in the field. It just doesn't work. Looks great on the shelf, but that's it.

I wanted this teapot because it matched my purple kitchen. I don't use it for tea because of it's heaviness and the fact that it gets very hot to hold. Other than that, everyone asks me where I got it because you just don't see something this unique daily. I really love it and am glad that I added this teapot to my collection. I don't think it's practical for tea though. Might want to check out something else for that.

I was pleasantly surprised at how fast the item was found, and then sent to me. It came in the factory sealed box and was well packed. I'd buy again from this vendor. :)
