Know before you buy
No, the Imperial Palace Teiera does not feature an internal filter. It is designed as a serving vessel, so we recommend using a separate infuser or tea bags to brew your tea before pouring it into the pot.
This teapot has a 3-cup capacity, which equates to approximately 24 ounces. It is perfectly sized for intimate tea service for two or three people.
To preserve the luster of the matte gold finish, we recommend hand washing the teapot with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals that could scratch or dull the delicate enamel surface.
Yes, the high-quality ceramic construction provides excellent heat retention, helping to keep your tea at an optimal serving temperature for longer periods. However, as with all ceramic teapots, we suggest pre-warming the pot with a splash of hot water before adding your tea.
Yes, the teapot is engineered with a balanced, three-footed base that provides a stable foundation on flat surfaces. The design is both aesthetically striking and structurally sound for daily use.
