Maybe a bit more info and we could help better. Are you looking for a
ceramic teapot, glass, Yixing, japanese cast iron, etc?

I have a pretty large Japanese cast iron teapot with a stainless
infuser that I bought at a Marshall's store for about $10-15.

I have also seen some really nice glass teapots from companies like
Bodum at Borders/Barne's and Nobles at 40-50% off for under $20.

If I had my choice of the two, I'd go with the glass teapot actually.
You can watch the tea brew and see the color whereas the black cast
iron makes in hard to see the color of the infusion so it is all temp
and timing.

My 2 pence.
