I bought this for my boyfriend who loves tea and he has used this pot everyday since he got it. It holds heat very well. Each person can go through about 3 of these little cups per teapot. The color looks really good in person and its holding up good so far. Easy to clean (just make sure you read the directions and know you aren't supposed to use soap on it).

Great purchase! Beautiful and serves a great cup of tea!

She received it today and absolutely loves it! She works at a tea house (Townsend) and has been telling me that she has been admiring various cast iron tea pots...so I sent her a gift which she exclaimed was WOWOWOW and very beautiful and brightened up her very blue week.
