Reviewers consistently praise the durable, high fired porcelain, appreciating its superior heat retention that keeps tea warm.

Know before you buy
High-purity French porcelain is non-porous and heat-retentive, which helps maintain a consistent water temperature for optimal infusion. Because it is neutral, it does not absorb flavors or odors, ensuring your tea tastes exactly as intended.
The 18 oz Small size is ideal for a single serving or two small teacups, while the 1.5 qt Large size is better suited for hosting or serving multiple people. Consider how many cups you typically pour at once to determine the best fit for your routine.
Not at all. The pleats are part of the smooth glazed finish of the porcelain, which is resistant to staining and easy to wipe down. The teapot is designed for both aesthetic appeal and practical, everyday maintenance.
No, this teapot is designed for serving tea, not for boiling water directly on a stovetop. You should heat your water in a separate kettle and pour it into the teapot once it reaches the desired temperature.
The Plisse Teapot is designed as a classic vessel for serving and does not include a built-in metal infuser. It is best used with loose-leaf tea steeped in a separate infuser or with tea bags.
