Ashdene Lantana Natural Charcoal Teapot

I love the look of this teapot - the colour, the motif, and the slightly unusual position of its spout. It holds just the right quantity for us, and if it's not filled too high, it pours easily without spilling (if it's filled too close to the spout, it drips until the level comes down a bit - hence 4 stars instead of 5). Another review mentions that it didn't come with a tea strainer, but I don't think it's advertised with one. I use loose tea in a steel mesh tea ball infuser, and it works like a charm, and also makes it easier to clean up.

Unfortunately teapot did not come with a tea strainer insert. It would be ok to use with tea bags but if you’re using tea leaves it’s not practical. I returned this product.
I’m still waiting to hear back on my return request I sent via email last week.
