(More customer reviews)Very delicate and very small (takes just under 3 cups of water). It works, however, it isn't described correctly in the listing.
This isn't what I would call a "regular" teapot where one would boil water with a separate kettle and then pour it over the tea in the pot. That's what I thought I was getting. Instead, this teapot is designed for STOVETOP USE! Instructions state to NOT fill with hot/boiling water, or it will crack, and had I not had the foresight to read the instructions, I might have broken it. Instead, you need to put your dry tea in the infuser, fill the teapot with water, and bring to a simmer with a low flame. Watch it, too, or it will boil over quickly. Also, the infuser and lid rattle around a bit--not a great fit, but good enough, I suppose.
That all said, I like it. Not thrilled, and certainly not worth the $18 I paid for it, but I'll be using it daily. It's pretty neat to watch the bitty streams of "good stuff" from my herbs seep through the infuser's slits.

Teapot body is 7cm in height with a diameter of 13cm. With the lid, the height is 11cm in total. (2.8ins in height and 5.1ins in diameter) Capacity is 17oz. Slots in the glass infuser allow the full flavor of the leaves to seep into the water without getting tea leaves into your drink. When using the infuser, use only enough leaves for two persons (approx 2 tablespoons) which will also allow enough room for the leaves to move around and quickly brew your tea. Glass is heat resistant and can be microwaved, but do not expose to direct heat and do not use in a normal oven. Since this is fine, thin glassware, automatic dish-washing is not recommended, hand wash with dish detergent. Although heat resistant, the glass is not shatter proof so take care when handling. Product of China.
