br /br /To start off, I picked this up from amazon about two years ago (from the date of this review).br /br /I had one pot with the handle unattached arrive in ok packing. I called the company (not amazon) and confirmed my purchase and a replacement was mailed that day. They were quite apologetic and quick to respond. Thumbs up to the company. The second replacement pot was flawless.br /br /Bottom line: It works. It's not the most pretty, the red paint is industrially applied. It looks good enough though, not a showpiece but functional and decent enough. The black enamel inside makes this pot easy to clean. I put a cloth or paper towel on a large spoon or chopstick to get in the hard to reach spots and done. Outside cleans just as easily and does not stain. br /br /No paint chipping, no rust, no wear, no problems after two years. The only heads up is this is not lightweight. If you have wrist, shoulder, or even back difficulties you may want to reconsider a purchase.

Old Dutch 48-Ounce Cast-Iron Mythology Teapot, Red Feature

• Old Dutch Mythology teapot; 48-ounce capacity
• Cast iron coated inside with black enamel to prevent rust
• Flattened sphere with cast dragon design
• Weathered red finish
• Stainless-steel infuser included; wash teapot by hand

Old Dutch cast-iron teapots combine traditional Japanese styling and a modern aesthetic that result in very evocative shapes. The largest of the line with a capacity of 48 ounces, the Mythology teapot forms a wide, flattened sphere balanced by a graceful spout and arching handle. A fabulous dragon design is cast onto the red, weathered-look surface, giving an air of antiquity. Perhaps a bit heavier than many teapots, the heft and visual splendor might just turn the act of making tea into a flight of fancy. p Iron teapots traditionally used in Japan are known as tetsubin, which were used to boil water as well as brew tea. However, the Mythology teapot is meant only 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. I--Ann Bieri/I 48 Oz. Red Cast Iron Mythology Teapot
