I bought this for my mother for the holidays. She is weaning off of caffeine by switching to tea rather than coffee.
She loves the pot! She lives in the desert southwest and although the tea pot was 'Chinese' in design it went well with the decor of a southwestern home.
The featured tea was delicious as well. She was very pleased. I purchased more tea to go with it which she has not yet opened, but she tells me that she is looking fwd to trying it out in her wonderful new pot.
Very nice and authentic looking.
