Fiestaware Sunflower 496 44-Ounce Teapot  Product Reviews

"This teapot is pretty, decorative...and not functional as a tea pot. As other reviewers have said, the handle is akward and difficult to pour. Tea dribbles down the side when you pour. The best way to use the tea pot is to wrap it in a towel so you can pour tea. It matches my sugar/creamer set perfectly but I'm going to need to get a different pot if I want to make tea."

"I love my teapot it pours beautifully. And the shape is wonderful! It is one of the best teapots I have ever owned!"

"I have some Fiesta Wear in another color and am always very happy to mix and match. This teapot is great for when people come over and I can place it on my warming burner without hurting it."

"Because of the handle's round shape it is difficult to hold this teapot level when hot. You can't support the pot with your pinky (because the pot is hot) and otherwise the weight of the pot will twist the ring shaped handle in your hand - spilling tea everywhere. The spout also tends to dribble, so (assuming you can actually hold the thing) getting tea into a cup is an added challenge."
