Regarding the teapot, I am astonished surprised by its beauty and high quality.
The filter is stainless steel and fine, I had to put my glasses to see that there were many holes up and down the filter is to say as it is late.
Some gossips say: it's like saying I can not see, but no, not at all but I have never seen such a fine filter.
The finish of this teapot is just gorgeous and the price is surprisingly low 20 and some cents and free shipping frankly no better.
I can only advise strongly.
My only regret is that there is no cup of the same model.
