Why the Chinese Tea ceremony its starts the story of how a visit to China to witness the traditional tea ceremony not like the one at Egypt were they use Pyramid tea bags.
But yes after getting use to the little handle for holding and turning a great coin box routine just like all my other coin box routines eg Buddha boxes etc and ten pence size coin boxes.
The lid is also novel in that it can hide a rare earth magnet covered with matching acrylic paint and a fifth Magnetic half dollars in the routine.
Alex also provides regular half dollars for those who don't have and saves time looking around coin shops
I also recommend the very high quality expanded half dollar also available through Alex at Monster Magic UK.
Maybe some one can make on a three D printer one in white with a blue Dragon around sides and two matching tea cups so you can say you got from your daughters tea party set

For a while now I have been using a plastic teapot for this effect. I got it from the joke shop in Scarborough and it has lasted me for a long long time. Being a huge fan of TCC props and tricks I had to purchase this when it appeared on Monster magic. This teapot is brilliant, it is for half dollar sized coins and has a good weight to it being made out of brass, compared to my plastic one which takes 10 pence coins. I use a quiver+ purse when performing my routine to make the coins all vanish and appear in what appeared to be an empty purse. 10 out of 10 for this prop good old TCC. Highly recommended
