We drink a LOT of tea. This beautiful tea pot is exactly what the doctor ordered. The sellers did a nice job wrapping this for international shipping and the tea pot arrived in one piece without any chips or cracks.Thank you sellers!

"London Pottery Globe Extra Large Teapot with Strainer". Nice teapot. I expected a removable infuser. The "strainer" referred to is ceramic inside the spout and not removable.

Finding a teapot this large is VERY difficult. It's huge – while the description says "10 cups," for Americans who don't use teacups as often, this pot provides quite literally 4-6 MUGS (depending on your mug size).The construction is sturdy and while ceramic can break if dropped (obviously), there is no concerns (as yet) that this will crack. Indeed, the highest risk is the weight, because when filled it is heavy enough that some might drop it. But that is not a flaw; just a helpful note.The only MINOR flaw is the spout. In a well-designed pot, the level of the spout will be ABOVE the highest water level of the bowl. In this pot, the spot's top water level is about a half-inch LOWER than the high point of the bowl. This means that, while filling, there will a little room left at the top of the bowl before you stop filling. That is, if you fill too much, the water will start overflowing from the spout. Therefore, you merely have to get used to eyeballing when the pot is "filled." The first half dozen times I filled it, there was still room in the bowl and as I continued to fill water came flooding out the spout. Again, a minor flaw, easily accommodated for the value of the item. Just something worth noting.
