    Very good. Cool tea pot, I got a very old victorian tea pot and made the mistake of using it to drink tea. Despite having washed it intensely it has a taste like arsenic.

    So display only.

    This almost exactly what it looks like but with not as ornate.

    Thanks. I paid a tenner for mine in a charity shop. No intention of making tea in it!

    Very good deal. Tea pots can be an addictive vice, caution is advised to avoid Ebay searching for tea pots.
