“I was very disappointed with the design of the teapot. It is impossible to pick up the lid by the knob on the top. There is not enough to get hold of. I dropped the lid on the first use and chipped the enamel. It is now in the cupboard as an emergency teapot. You cannot pick up the teapot without a pot holder because the handle is too hot (I should have thought about that problem - being metal).”
