Once at my Japanese cast-iron teapot cover sits very loose and therefore easily fall off, I've been looking for a larger pot, in which the lid holds when pouring. And I came across the kettle of dust. The form appealed to me instantly - but the price ... Well, my husband was looking for a birthday present for me anyway and I ordered the pot. When I unpacked but on the birthday morning, I had festellen that the ground was not flat. But that was not a problem thanks to the wonderful service from Amazon. That same day, I sent back the pot and could unpack the new pot the next day. That's now been a few months back. Every day I am happy about this great pitcher that exactly meet my expectations of a very good-looking, stable and convenient pot. I can really recommend it!
