Is there any part of this tea ball that isn't stainless steel?

It is ALL stainless. You will need to be careful when opening and closing as it is a little delicate. Have fun! Cheryl

I don't see any plastic on this tea kettle at all. The top part of the handle and the knob on the lid is a rubberized or silicone material and neither come in contact with steam. Hope this helps.

There is no plastic at all - even the top of the plunger is stainless steel! This is very high quality, as is the teapot with strainer also available from Frieling.

Yes there are no plastic parts of any kind. Not sure what part exactly you are referring to though. The bottom is definitely steel and I think everything is extruded aluminum except the actual ball and stem.Hope this helps.

Interior bottom is stainless steel. This is a very nice tea kettle, I would highly recommend it.

The inside is neither glass nor plastic it's stainless steel. The thermos keeps tea (and or whatever else you ma use it for) hot for an extremely long time. I love it.

No plastic parts are visible, I seriously doubt any are contained, I have 3 of these - they are beautifully and we'll designed, durable and heavy. They keep my wife's tea hot down to warm over 24 hours. But remember to fill it with the hottest tap water you have and let it absorb the hear for 20 secs to a minute if you want to keep it hot for a long period of time! It absolutely does, and you won't regret the purchase! Good luck!

I am not concerned. I have been using this particular whistling teapot for years as well as my mother and she lived to be 92 years old. Water is boiled inside so there can't be any problem as the water is boiled. It is also made in the USA. I would be more scared to use a pot that came from China since we aren't sure what is in the metal.

All of mine have strings.... Probably just a manufacturing error. Doubt that will affect the tea quality.

I just read the description of the item and it does say "with a stainless steel strainer, for tea--". After using it for a long time, I haven't ever seen any rust on it.

No, unfortunately, it's plastic. There's popular mall tea store that has a brewer that has a stainless steel basket at a high price.

Yes. The only parts not stainless are the lid, handle, and rubber non-skid bottom

Made in China, according to the bottom of the teapot :) This is not fine china, its porcelain. It is by no means high quality by tea set standards, but it is lovely and I have thoroughly enjoyed using it and have received several compliments on it.

Yes -- the bottom is stamped very small "made in China" and "Burton.Burton.". Cute little teapot, especially the butterfly on top. Only issue is the angle of the spout -- takes some practice to hit the tea glass!

The inside is a carbon steel.The outside appears to be enamel . I use mine every day and no chips, have had since December. Great buy. I have had an all enamel tea pot from Lennox and it dis colored and started to get orange spots and no I don't have rust in my water.

All I know is that the bottom is stainless steel, inside and out. The entire teakettle is a very good quality stainless steel.

I'm very happy with my Le Creuset stainless steel tea kettle. No rust at all. The lid has a little bit of weight to it, which I like.
