The first came to me with the broken Anse ... but immediately replaced with ease. The second is perfect, the handle does not get hot, or very little, the teapot does not drop at all. One small question, it is recommended in the instructions not to heat water directly into the teapot, under penalty of damaging email. So why sell "all heat"? Nevertheless, rebellion, I heat my water on induction, it works perfectly, and the email is perfect. Finally, she is very beautiful and well "finished". Go for it!
