Excellent teapot in every way! It holds about 56oz of tea (seven 8oz. cups). The spout does not drip at all after you pour. It is very elegant, with a shiny gold handle. Another design feature I like about it is that after you rinse it out, you can turn it over to air dry and the teapot rests nicely on the side of its own handle, making it very stable. Having tried many teapots, I'd say this is one of the best!
