Is this teapot very good packed? I live in the Caribbean and wouldn't like to order It and then receive it broken...

Three years ago (if I remember correctly) it was well packed. But who knows, packaging can change in three years. It's a great pot; if you buy it, I wish you lots of fragrant tea drinking! Arlan

Nina, I don't recall any issues with the packing. I agree with Arlan and Virgo---it is a very nice teapot and I love the blue color. And it is only $18!

I've had mine for a while, I've ordered 3. There was never any packing issues... It's a GREAT tea pot if you want a few cups. Get the blue one!

No. There is only the teapot in the package. It is really a lovely teapot.....I bought for a friend for Valentine's Day and it comes in a pretty little package, and the pot itself is very pretty. Can't say how it holds ups up, though. She really loved it.

It was packaged very efficiently in several small boxes but nothing "Gift Like" - Not a piece was broken - Love my Tea Set!

Mocha brown but I wouldn't buy it....the first one I returned because it was pretty badly damaged, horribly packed....I got a replacement once, still a bit damaged but my husband and I were too aggravated to return the second one and kept it...Unhappy with the quality though....it's a shame because it's a nice piece...

Claudia_ I can only respond of course about my own personal use of the teapot. I use several times a week and have had no problems at all. The pot might eventually crack years from now due to use . No one could predict tat. Only can say that it is after all a teapot and was designed to be used. I do that and again, quite frequently and without problems. Enjoy your teapot. It's so lovely. I'm sure you will enjoy as much as I do mine. Good luck.

I think the teapot was wrapped with small bubble wrap inside an original cardboard box without any additional packaging material and then the original box was packed in the Amazon shipping box. But not very sure since I received it several months ago.

Mine arrived broken. But judging from the tea cups of the same design, and how thin the glass is, I would say no.

I bought this about 3 months ago and only 1 of the colors was superficially damaged, and I bought this from central América, so I'm pretty satisfied with the packing.I hope this helps :-)

No, the teapot I purchased is not made in England. I believe the description says 'English Style', not made in England.

I have had this problem when ordering a china tea cup and saucer from Amazon. Had to reorder twice. I believe it to be an Amazon packaging problem, not Corningware's, so I will order my dish from an outside vendor and see if that goes better.

The one I ordered was made in Thailand. I know many of their other teapots are made in China and designed in England. I was thrilled the one I ordered was not made in China.

Love to help you SweetieBee but like you-I only bought the tea pot-I didn't manufacture it. This is a feature of Amazon that annoys me no end. Instead of contacting other purchasers they should take this question to the source for what it's worth I've had this tea pot for about a year have left water inside frequently - and have no problems with it. The lining is probably some type of protectant

Hi... The teapot is small, only holding 3 1/4 if water. Any more and it will over flow. So when it is just me and a neighbor it works beautifully. When I have more people, I use it as part of my center piece by putting flowers in it. Everyone thinks it is very pretty that way. I am not sorry I got this pot. I have enjoyed it many times. Rita

Is it possible that you have left a plastic shipping collar on your teapot that is supposed to be removed after you receive it?

I had the same complaints with my teapot. I was surprised that a big name company would produce a teapot with problems like you indicated. I finally gave up and it went to Goodwill.

I was under the impression the tea kettle was accidentally left on a burner without the individual being aware until they tried to move it. Then the copper coated disk had melted and portions that were liquified landed on the floor as pot was hoisted off of stove. May be wrong about it but I can't see under normal use there would be a problem. It's dangerous to leave anything on a burner unattended and if the teapot had no water in it...which must have been the case or the whistling would have warned that contents were hot, then who's to blame - not the teapot.

Mine arrived without any breaks, cracks or other problems. It was boxed and not bubble-wrapped or packed in Styrofoam etc. If I remember correctly, it was just the box you would have bought it in from a traditional store, but with a shipping label on it.
