I've always wanted a vacuum (thermos) glass teapot. Every teapot I ever used is cold by the time you want a second cup.
I have some nice glass vacuum cups which are lovely

Example, albeit the company are sold out:

Edit: I see amazon have them. The company has changed name from Grunwerg to Cafe Ole, for some reason.

Try a Grunwerg Rondo. Good for strong tea. Avoid glass teapots - they are aesthetically pleasing whilst infusing, but dissipate heat far too quickly and ruin the leaf infusion process.
I drink black, white, green and herbal teas using teapots, and this one is the best of any I've used. The pot-for-one is good for the office.
Main reasons to get this one: nobody wants to steal it, looks unusual; bakelite handle, lasts forever, and means you will not get burned whilst carrying it around; wire mesh infuser, rather than a metal tub with holes drilled in, so tea infuses properly.Last edited by contractorinatractor; 6 October 2017, 13:44.

Frankly I wouldn't bother buying any teapot made after about 1950 for that reason, as it will dribble like an incontinent two year old!
Your best bet is to try and find an old one in a charity shop. (I have several, although I don't generally use them.)

Word has it that one shouldn't pick the sloes until after the first frost.
Now, years ago that meant you could have them steeped in a kilner jar by the end of September but these days one can count the number of pre-Christmas frosts on something I haven't got.
So, onto a baking tray for a night in the deep freeze they go...
