Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Lucy ★★★★★

The little raised ridges on the lid make it easy to grip even when my hands are wet, and the iron body holds heat so steadily that my second cup is just as warm as the first. It's heavier than I expected, but that solidness feels like it's built to last for years.

Victoria ★★★★★

The iron keeps the tea piping hot through a long afternoon, and the artistic exterior makes it look like a centerpiece on my table. The weight feels substantial, and pouring from it is oddly satisfying.

Aurora Q. ★★★★★

The lid fits perfectly and the iron body holds heat for a surprisingly long time, so my last cup is still warm. The artistic texture on the outside makes it feel like a piece of decor I actually want to leave out on the counter.
