The handsome design drew me to this tea pot as I am a daily tea drinker and had just broken mine. I was disappointed that the design of the lid does NOT prevent it from tumbling off when pouring, as I was led to believe. And it does drip as well. My last one did not. Still, it is gorgeous and I use it every day. Maybe the maker could refine it for function without losing its aesthetic appeal.

I would like it better if the steeping container fit lower into the pot - I typically only want to make about two cups of tea and with this you have to fill it quite full before the water reaches the tea. Otherwise I like it a lot, cool design.
