Picquot Ware make the best metal teapots.
We accumulated a set (teapot, water-jug, milk-jug and sugar-bowl, with a matching tray) for my mother over various birthdays/Christmases (they were relatively expensive back in the '70s!) and they were her pride and joy. The teapot is one of the best pourers I ever came across.

Rarely use a pot these days (teabag in a pint mug is fine for me!) but I still have a couple of Picquot teapots around should I get the urge (or sufficient number of guests in the house).
