Amazon.com Review
Old Dutch cast-iron teapots combine traditional Japanese styling and a modern aesthetic that result in very evocative shapes. Holding 34 ounces, the Prosperity teapot forms a dome shape, much like an upside-down bowl, balanced by a graceful spout and arching handle. The textured surface, available in a choice of colors, takes on a weathered appearance and displays a cast, bas-relief design of twining vines. With its pleasing heft and calming presence, Prosperity lends quiet contemplation to the act of making tea.
Iron teapots traditionally used in Japan are known as tetsubin, which were used to boil water as well as brew tea. However, the Prosperity teapot is meant just for brewing, not for boiling on a stovetop. Old Dutch uses a specially purified cast iron for its teapots, and coats the insides with black enamel to help prevent rusting. Unlike ceramic teapots, the heavy cast iron retains heat wonderfully and won't chip. After use, the pot is best cared for when rinsed and dried by hand before storing. A stainless-steel infusing basket that hangs from the rim is included to facilitate brewing with loose tea leaves. --Ann Bieri

Great teapot!,

This review is from: Old Dutch 34-Ounce Cast-Iron Prosperity Teapot, Mustard (Kitchen)
We have had this great teapot for a few months now and love it! It is so well made and nice to use. We have enjoyed many cups of tea from it so far. We've found the quality to be top notch and have some friends who had the same teapot for a few years now and still love theirs.

I'm a little teapot...,

This review is from: Old Dutch 34-Ounce Cast-Iron Prosperity Teapot, Mustard (Kitchen)
It's both practical AND beautiful! The quality is truly top notch! I was leery because the ones in the mall cost more, so you would assume this one would be lacking, but it holds its own in comparison! This little teapot truly is a pleasure to use and own. The lovely shape and cheerful color is probably what makes me so happy. It's the perfect size and the stainless steel tea basket goes low enough to make just a cup or two if that's all you want. I searched for months for the perfect teapot and couldn't be more pleased.
A couple things to note,the mustard colored paint could come off if you really started rubbing on it too much, but why would you need to or want to? Also, one tiny hiccup is the way that it was packaged caused the little knob handle on the lid to become loose (too much pressure placed on the knob in the box). I didn't know if that was a defect or not, but Amazon sent me a new one within just a couple days and it was perfect, so that confirmed that the little knob is NOT supposed to wiggle at all. The first one was broke. Lastly, don't put it on the stove! It's for seeping tea. You'll wreck it on your stove top. It's not a kettle!

I love this tea pot! It is a lovely, cheery mustard which brightens my day as soon as I see it. Very heavy and durable, and makes just the right amount of tea for me to have several cups. The mesh tea strainer is fantastic at keeping the leaves out of the brew.
