I have other teapots. They are more beautiful. Sometimes they come in a set with a matching cup or two. Some I would never dream of using to steep tea because I'm not entirely sure what the heat would do to the teapot.
This is by far my favorite, however. It is simple, clear glass. No decoration. No frills. Simple. When I steep flowering teas, it is a quick little art show and steeping Chai changes clear water into a beautiful cascade of sunset tones. You would never realize the beauty of tea until you watch its leaves convert hot water into a colorful beverage.
The cleanup is a simple rinse and store. Such perfection.
I love that pot. Where did you get it?
