My original review was in October if 2013 about 14 months ago.  The spout just fell off a few days ago.  Not sure  why that happened.  The warranty is one year, oh yey, just out of warranty.  Just my luck.  I did like it before it broke and for the price I guess it lasted a bit.  I will buy one more because I liked the way it looks.  I still use it to heat water but pouring it out is just silly, I should just use a small pot.  Not good for regular use, but oh so cute to look at.
