Know before you buy
No, this teapot is not stovetop safe. It is designed for serving tea that has been prepared separately, rather than for boiling water.
No, this model does not include an infuser. You will need to use tea bags or a separate infuser to prepare your tea before pouring it into the pot.
Due to the hand-painted details and gold lustre embellishments, this teapot must be hand-washed only. It is not dishwasher safe, as the heat and detergents can damage the finish.
Because each piece is meticulously hand-painted, you should expect slight variations in the pattern. These unique differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that your teapot is one-of-a-kind.
With a generous 64 oz capacity, this teapot is ideal for hosting, comfortably serving approximately 8 standard 8-ounce cups of tea.
