I got this thing for use on my wood stove and as an ornament. I'm not much of a tea drinker but I'm giving it a try. It looks as pictured in the listing and the quality seems good. It requires a bit more care than I thought about. Per the instructions, you don't want to let it heat up without water in it and you don't want to stow it with any moisture at all in it. Breaking at high temperature and rust are the concerns. It's easy to take care of if you keep that in mind. So far no rust. I suspect it won't get much use in the warmer months but it will still look good year round.

This kettle is so beautiful and perfect for our needs. We absolutely love and use it every day. The water heats up so fast and I love the way it looks on my stovetop.One caution, the steam is extremely hot when pouring so I always use a short oven mitt.

We've owned several tea kettles in the last two decades, and they've all broken eventually. Usually something mechanical or made of plastic. I've always loved the durability and utility of cast iron, so when our last kettle kicked the bucket, I looked for cast iron, landing here with the 60 ounce model.If you're familiar with the care and feeding of cast iron, take this as my recommendation and skip the words below. If you're new to this vintage and sometimes curmudgeony technology, maybe read on.When I read through the reviews, some of the low scores suggest inexperience (not meant as an offense; cast iron takes acclimation). Watch a few YouTube videos on how to initialize a new cast iron kettle and how to preserve it. It's simple enough work, but it's very different from steel, copper, ceramic, etc. Follow the instructions provided (roughly translated, it seems) to prepare the kettle for first use. Don't use soaps. Don't scrub. Empty the kettle whenever you're done, and let the water inside evaporate before replacing the lid.A friend of mine spent years salmon fishing in Alaska, living that woods-y, old-fashioned life away from the world. He taught me cast iron. If you don't have a friend like that and are looking at this kettle or any other cast iron contraption, accept that there's a small but doable learning curve. It's worth it.And be patient. It's worth it. With care, this could be the last kettle you'll ever buy.A few more notes:- I have no idea the country of origin. As others have said, the box clearly reads "Made in China." An older answer above suggests this may be a Japanese company whose manufacturing is handled in China but QA is done in Japan. Either way, ours seems well made and is quite striking.– Don't buy too small! Compared to our outgoing Walmart kettle, this 60 oz. model is about 2/3 the capacity. There's enough for 5-6 8oz. mugs of tea, but it's smaller than we're used to. Take a measuring cup and measure out the capacity for any kettle you're looking at. See how that compares to your needs.– Don't skip the steps outlined in the manual to prepare your kettle before first use. I've already said this, but it's important. Run it, with tea the first time, for several cycles before you plan to drink from it. Don't scrub with soap or do anything else not listed in the manual. Expect discolored water and maybe an iron smell for several cycles.– The listing mentions an enameled interior. Ours is cast iron only. I would criticize the listing for being deceptive, but the lack of enamel is a preference for me. Your mileage may vary, and other sizes may be different.That's it.And if you do buy one, enjoy the heck out of it! A beautiful little tea kettle.Best Regards,- Chaz

The Suyika Japanese Tetsubin Cast Iron Teapot is quite the charming addition to any collection, with its traditional design and durable construction in cast iron, making it very beautiful and functional. It comes in the capacity of 22 oz/650 ml, hence making it perfect for small gatherings. It has a stainless steel infuser that allows for easy brewing of loose-leaf tea. This teapot has an enameled interior that prohibits rust and makes cleaning simple; it retains heat well and keeps tea warm for a long time.The only drawback is that it's relatively small, so it may not be ideal for serving more than two people at a time. Additionally, the exterior can get quite hot, so handling it with care is essential. Despite these minor issues, it is a high-quality teapot that delivers on both aesthetics and functionality, earning it a solid 4-star rating.

Unlike some have mentioned, my 30 Oz pot came lined with ceramic on the inside which was exactly what I wanted (and was described).The heat retention has been great, I can get through 3 cups (24 Oz) and it's still hot on the last pour. The only gripe I have is that the infusion basket is too darn short. You need a full pot (24 Oz) to get the water level up to the tea and have room for it to float, yet even then there isn't enough room for the leaves to expand and give a full-bodied tea. I'm on the hunt for a better basket and if I can't find one, I will make my own that goes all the way to the bottom of this pot.I still can't knock off a star. For the price, this little pot can't be beat. The quality is remarkable for the low price tag.

On the upside this tea pot is absolutely gorgeous and is flawless with one massive exception. I washed it and boiled water in it prior to first use. My first pot of tea smelled, looked and tasted very rusty. I repeated cleaning and boiling water in it but it did not help. You can see the bottom is poc marked with rust. The picture of the black on my finger was from boiling ONLY water. The mug picture is grocery store Lipton Tea but it looks like I washed a black paint brush off in the water. This is not usable as a tea pot and I am completely mystified by all the positive reviews. I would highly recommend consulting a physician before ever drinking from one of these pots.

I bought the 30 oz. black cast iron teapot. It seems a little small, I can’t see it holding 30 oz. of water. That being said, it is definitely cast iron. I do believe it will make 2 cups of tea, so it works for me. I love the design. It is exactly as pictured. It was securely packaged and delivered on time. I would definitely purchase again.

It's a small metal teapot. After 2 years I'm still using it. Holds about 2 to 4 cups of tea in a teapot you can sit over a warming candle without worrying about it breaking.
