Know before you buy
The swivel lid is designed to secure both the lid and the glass infuser in place, allowing you to pour tea with one hand. It provides a stable, controlled flow while keeping the infuser steady during the pour.
No, this teapot is not stovetop safe. You should heat your water separately in a kettle and then pour it into the teapot over your tea leaves.
Yes, the glass infuser is designed to prevent tea staining, making it easier to maintain than traditional mesh filters. Because the teapot is not dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing the infuser and the glass body with mild soap after each use.
The teapot has a 16-ounce capacity, which is ideal for serving up to two cups of tea. It is specifically designed for intimate tea ceremonies or personal daily use.
To preserve the quality of the carved rosewood and the brass floral detail, avoid submerging the teapot in water for long periods. Simply hand wash the glass components carefully and wipe the handle and lid with a soft, dry cloth.
