I bought this old teapot from ebay last week.

The temperature is pretty high here now, so after one night in the lye all the paint came off.

I left it sitting for a few hours with vinegar and water in it and then I submerged it in a bucket of vinegar and water.

Most of the crud is gone off the inside but I'm going to let it sit full a little longer because I want it to be bare metal inside.
I'm thinking I will just season it like I would any other CI. It's just for display.
