  1. More information needed!!
    Unless on knows the the size and capacity ( by this I mean how much water it can safely hold) how can one possibly ascertain if the teapot is "value for money" or not?? As something of an expert in this field, I would be perfectly willing to pay £20, but £25????. I think not.
