Review on πŸ¦‹ Dragonfly Porcelain Teapot with Butterfly Trim by Neil Bodell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

5 stars for the pot, 3 stars for the seller's description. Overall average 4 stars. :)

I collect teapots and my daughter gave me this teapot for her birthday and she absolutely loved it! I wanted to put 5 stars but that's why I changed my mind. 1) I saw the picture and the "name" of what she thought she was ordering. There are no dragonflies or bees in my pot. Just butterflies and flowers with a ladybug on the lid, what a delight! If you list an item specifically as "Butterfly and Dragonfly Kettle" then having both on every pot is a must! If I had known this beforehand, I would have been very disappointed! 2) The photo shows a bright white pot, which is also inaccurate. This is a cream or off-white pot and as it is not shown in the picture this should be made clear in the description. Another disappointment for my daughter who thought it would match my new white china. On the plus side, it holds a full 32 ounces. no tea bags so it's a good size although it seems smaller. It pours well, doesn't drip or splash. Of course, it transmits heat when inflated, but the grip is large enough that your knuckles don't burn. The satin lined soft lined box it came in makes for a beautiful presentation and serves to keep the item safe in the event of speedy delivery. Received in 2 days with Prime. I absolutely love this bowl! I think it's beautiful, and while it doesn't match the china, it does match my favorite mug I bought at the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls, California. when my girls were babies which makes it special for me!

Pros
  • teapots
Cons
