So when determining capacity, how full do you fill the teapot? If
capacity is what fills it to the brim, then its a six cup, but if it is
to the level that I have read as optimum (more or less up to the point
where it starts to narrow again) then its a four cup. I just want to be
sure that what I order is the same size as what I have.

The more that I think about this, the more I wonder why not simply order a
pot with the capacity that you'd like it to have? I'm not being facetious;
it's just that I can't tell what the capacity of one pot has to do with a
prospective purchase of another. If you use and like your current pot as a
4-cupper (24 oz), then why not look for that capacity in a new pot? Buy the
capacity that you need/want and don't worry about how high you're supposed
to fill a pot because it really all just depends. For example, I have a pot
that is 32 oz when filled all the way up. Because of the sloshing spout
issue, that's not practical and 30 oz would be more reasonable providing I
tread very carefully.

However, the box says the capacity is .6 liter, 20 oz., and at that point,
it looks like it's only 1/2 full.

I generally use it as a 24 oz pot.

HTH.
