Description
This is a round stoneware teapot in glossy red, and its fluted body is what you notice first: soft vertical ribs run all the way round, and the domed lid picks them up again in lines that fan out from a small round knob. It holds 1085ml, a proper pot for pouring at the table rather than a single brew, and it stands 13cm across and 17cm tall, with a rounded loop handle that leaves plenty of room for your fingers. Made entirely of stoneware, it weighs 0.6KG.
It belongs on the kitchen table at breakfast, on a tray carried through for a slow weekend morning, or in the middle of the table when friends come round for tea and cake. Stoneware holds heat well, which is exactly what you want from a teapot. There is no strainer built in, so it suits tea bags best; for loose leaf tea, pour through a separate strainer or use an infuser. The red adds a welcome note of colour to a plain white kitchen, a pale wooden dining table or a dresser shelf where it can stay on show between brews.
The body is finished in a solid coloured glaze that runs smooth and glossy over every rib, and the lid lifts off completely for filling and rinsing out. Looking after it is easy: it goes in the dishwasher, and it can go in the microwave and the oven too. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, a sound choice for a pot you reach for every day. For a simple setting, put it on a wooden board or a trivet with plain white cups beside it and let the red carry the table.
