I purchased 8 of these teapots in 4-, 6-, and 8-cup sizes for home use and as gifts for friends. I assumed that, since they are labeled as ‘Made in England’, they would reflect the high quality one expects of ceramics made in the British Isles. However, these are the cheapest, flimsiest teapots money can buy. They were largely unavailable for a month or two in 2007 as the manufacturer made more. Apparently, the company was bought out and taken over by a new owner, who then started manufacturing these cheap excuses for a teapot. When these new teapots were released in early 2007, I noticed they were much lighter and flimsier than those made by the previous company owners. So I put each new teapot on a postal scale and weighed the new ones against earlier versions I already owned. Sure enough, the postal scale indicated that all of the new teapots are appreciably lighter as a result of being made with considerably less clay. I wrote a letter of complaint to the manufacturer and have

    I love this pot. I think the quality is excellent and I do not have problems with pouring. I don’t care that it is not microwaveable. You should not put teapots in the microwave anyway. Use a tea cozy to keep it warm. Warm up your mug if you need to.

    I have had one of these pots for years and I think it serves its purpose admirably. I do find it makes two “teacups” of tea. It doesn’t make two big mugs of tea if that is what you are thinking when you see “two cups.” I have never had any problem with pouring either.

    I ordered this teapot to replace a well loved Brown Betty teapot that I had broken. When I took it out of the box, I was surprised to find a sticker on this one saying it was not microwaveable. Since I had purchased it to use in the microwave, as I had used my old Brown Betty without any obvious problems, I felt a bit let down. Perhaps all such teapots are not intended for use in the microwave and I was using my old one improperly, but if you need a microwaveable tea pot this one won’t do.

    I purchased the 2 cup teapot. It is impossible to pour a cup of tea without a large amount of tea dribbling down the side and onto the counter and making a mess.

    A hand hammered wok should be thick skinned, and tough… this thing bends if you look at it funny… It’s too thin-skinned for anything other than a quick stir-fry.

    This product has some flaws in that it has partial felt pads in it, it would be better to buy your own felt and cut them out. For a collector of dinnerware it just isnt enough of the largest size.

    This and a lid will transform any wok into a huge steamer, large enough to steam lobsters and Dungeness crabs, for example. It’s inexpensive, well made, and exactly fulfills its purpose. The supplier was more than forthcoming and helpful. Delivery and packing were of the first order.

    This steamer works well, but it’s hard to remove small-cut vegetables/items from it since there’s no handle. The steamer has a tendency to shift if you try and use a spoon or even tongs to remove the items and I don’t want everything getting wet in the 1,000 degree water below especially my hands. It’s very durable and will last a lifetime. I may “mickey mouse” a handle or a chain to make my life easier. Have a nice day.
