Karine Floral Stoneware Teapot 900ml - Blue

Our Karine teapot is a rounded stoneware pot wrapped in bands of small blue flowers, the kind of everyday teapot that earns a permanent place beside the kettle. It holds 900ml, a good size for brewing a pot to share rather than a single cup, and it measures 14cm across and 16cm tall, so it sits comfortably on a tray or a narrow worktop. The body is plump and round, with a spout on one side, a generous loop handle on the other and a gently domed lid finished with a neat knob. Stoneware holds heat well, which is exactly what you want from a teapot.

Brew in it every morning on the kitchen counter, carry it to the breakfast table at the weekend, or take it through to the sitting room on a tray when friends call round in the afternoon. The floral bands give it a cheerful, cottage feel that sits happily in a farmhouse kitchen, a bright modern one or a small flat where the teapot is always on show. It also makes a thoughtful housewarming present for anyone who takes their tea seriously, and the pattern looks just as good beside plain crockery as it does among other patterned pieces.

The pattern is handstamped, and because a handstamped design is applied by hand, small differences in the print from one piece to the next are part of its charm. A fine line runs around the rim, and the knob is picked out in a contrasting tone. Care is refreshingly simple: it goes in the dishwasher, it can go in the microwave if a pot has cooled, and the maker rates it for the oven too. It weighs 0.7KG empty. For styling, stand it on a wooden board with a couple of cups beside it and leave it out between pots, because it is far too pretty to hide in a cupboard.
