No, this is a ceramic teapot and is not designed for direct heat sources like gas or electric stovetops.
Is the handle heat resistant?
Yes, the handle is designed to stay cool during normal use, making it safe to hold while pouring.
Does it come with a filter?
The teapot is designed to be compatible with stainless steel filters, but please verify if your specific package includes one as it is often an optional accessory.
What is the total volume of this teapot?
This model has a capacity of 450ml, which is approximately 2 standard cups.
Is the finish prone to chipping?
The teapot is crafted from high-quality ceramic, but like any ceramic piece, it should be handled with care to avoid impacts against hard surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Tea leaves escaping into the cup
Ensure you are using a fine-mesh compatible infuser or check the placement of your tea bag string to ensure the lid seals properly.
Surface stains appearing on the matt finish
Use a gentle ceramic cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water to softly scrub the exterior; avoid harsh abrasive scouring pads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before first use, wash the teapot with warm soapy water to ensure it is clean. While the teapot is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the matt grey glaze over time. Ensure the teapot is completely dry before storage. If using an aftermarket stainless steel filter, ensure it fits the 450ml dimensions to allow the lid to sit flush. When using in the microwave, ensure no metal objects (such as a metal spoon or metal tea infuser) are left inside to avoid damage.
