This teapot is entirely handcrafted from durable, heat-resistant borosilicate glass, featuring a specially designed non-drip spout and an ergonomic handle for a secure grip. It includes a removable, high-quality 18/10 stainless steel mesh infuser filter, suitable for loose or blooming teas, and the lid is compatible with the tea basket whether it's in place or taken out. This elegant teapot can be used in the microwave or on gas and electric stovetops; heat water to brewing with medium heat, and you can reheat your delightful teas in the microwave, on the stovetop, or keep them warm over an open flame. It has a generous capacity of 1000ml, and it's important not to exceed this while boiling tea. The thicker borosilicate glass is designed for durability in daily use and is safe for the top rack of the dishwasher or hand washing. We stand firmly behind our premium glass teapot; if you're ever dissatisfied, please reach out to us directly so we can resolve the issue.
