Know before you buy
No, this piece should be hand-washed with mild soap. The gold accents are delicate and require gentle care to prevent fading or damage over time.
The teapot measures 251 mm in length and 161 mm in height, making it a standard size suitable for serving approximately 4 to 6 cups of tea.
No, this is a porcelain serving piece designed for steeping and pouring tea, not for heating water. You should use a separate kettle to boil your water before adding it to the teapot.
The porcelain handle is designed to remain comfortable to the touch during standard tea service. However, as with any ceramic vessel, it will absorb heat if the teapot is filled with boiling water for an extended period.
Vista Alegre uses high-quality materials, but the gold accents are a decorative finish. To maintain their luster, avoid abrasive sponges or harsh detergents and ensure the piece is dried thoroughly after washing.
