A lovely example of the traditional cast-iron teapots known in Japan as tetsubin, this red pot with its delicate, hand-cast, raised design of a long-tailed dragon highlighted in black is not only prized as a collectible, but also brews 16 ounces of tea perfectly. Its interior is glazed in enamel, so it won't rust or corrode; nor will its stainless-steel infuser. To make soothing, full-flavored tea, simply spoon loose tea leaves into the infuser, pour on simmering water, and allow to steep for three to five minutes. The heavy cast-iron construction retains heat so well, it ensures second cups will still be hot. The pot stands just 5-1/2 inches high with its handle raised but weighs 3 pounds. --Fred Brack on amazon
