I have never understood the "ounce" method for sizing teapots. Many times they are very inaccurate. I suppose people drink tea in many different sized cups and some even use coffee mugs, etc. I drink my tea in a 6 ounce cup with a saucer. I like two cups of tea and my daughter drinks two cups of tea. For us, a teapot that makes 4 six-ounce cups of tea is preferable. This teapot makes double that. If you wish to serve a large group of people, or you want to drink tea the same way coffee drinkers drink coffee, this size is perfect. If you want only a few cups of tea, go to the next size smaller. We will be purchasing the next size smaller and using this pot for making tea to ice down or when company comes.
With this teapot, a full kettle of hot water from our Simplex tea kettle fills this pot. In the infuser, we use two heaping teaspoons of Harney & Sons Irish Breakfast loose leaf tea and steep for 7 minutes. Tea perfection! It makes roughly 8 six-ounce cups of tea this way. The infuser is good for both long leaf, like most of your Chinese blacks, Oolongs, and Green teas, or for the Cut and Tear type teas, like the Irish, Scottish, or English breakfast. There's no more need to have both a teaball & large-holed infuser. This infuser handles both jobs well.
This teapot is NOT for those who wish to make smaller batches of tea. If you want to make a smaller batch of tea, one that normally uses one heaping teaspoon of leaf, then get the next size smaller. This is not knocking this teapot. This is a very fine teapot. You need to understand that it is very large. It would work well for making a large batch of tea.
The handle is nice and large. It's good for people with large hands like myself. It stays fairly cool, even under the tea cozy. The lid has a silicone gasket that seals into the infuser, or body of the pot. It's easy to pull the infuser out at the end of brewing by using the lid. Afterwards, it stays in the body nicely, allowing you to pour a cup of tea without worrying about the lid falling off. If you've made lots of tea, you know what I'm talking about.
This is a very nice teapot. Just know that if you purchase this one, you will not be making small amounts in this pot and be happy with it. Get the next size smaller. If you want a pot for company or making tea to be iced, this is perfect for that.

Wonderful everyday teapot and strainer
This teapot is an excellent choice for a tea enthusiast to use daily. One of the reasons I chose to try this one was that it was listed as "high fired ceramic." If you do not know, this means the ceramic is fired at a higher temperature, like stoneware, and will be stronger and denser as a result. Upon arrival, it does indeed have a nice, sturdy feel. Being high-fired also means you are less likely to have problems if you use this with a tea light, although I haven't done this yet. The glaze is nice, with a lovely bright, but not glaring color(I ordered the red). It is evenly glazed, with no obvious defects or bubbles, inside and out. It was also listed as lead-free, which is of course desirable.The strainer has very fine holes, which do not let tea leaves come through. It provides room for the leaves to unfurl properly, but makes clean-up a snap. It's what I hoped for. I might have made it a tiny bit longer, but I am well pleased with it. I'm going to upload some customer photos as well, so look for those to get a good view of the strainer.Just as I had hoped, the curved spout tip makes for easy drip-free pouring! Yay! In this video, you see the first time I poured from this pot. There is one tiny drop hanging on the tip of the spout afterwards. If you pour with just a tiny bit more care, there is no drop at all. No tea ran down the spout at all when I poured. This is a hard-to-find quality in a teapot, and this one does wonderfully well.The handle stays pretty cool to the touch, even when the body of the pot is quite warm from boiling water! It also seems to hold heat rather well, and has a tiny steam hole in the lid. The lid fits with or without the strainer. It is all nicely designed to go together. Also, there is a silicone gasket around the lid's rim, which holds it well, so no worries about the lid falling out or sliding around during pouring out.I would definitely purchase this pot again, and I may get another color, for myself, or for gifts.
