RSVP International Stoneware Teapot Collection, Microwave and Dishwasher Safe, 42 oz, Green

Just perfect for me. I bought the navy blue one and am very happy with the color; it compliments my blue Toile dishware. The teapot is sturdy and well-made. The handle is comfortable to use and it pours without loosing its top. I chose the 16 oz. size and it’s just right for a few cups of tea. I find the classic shape of it very pleasing as well. It looks charming on my table or on the shelf.

Nice little teapot,just the right size to make a large 16 oz glass of tea or coffee. The biggest selling point for me is the durability. Finding a classic-looking teapot that is truly microwave and dishwasher-safe is harder than you’d think. I’ve run it through the dishwasher several times with no fading or chipping, and it handles a quick reheat in the microwave perfectly. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a 'no-fuss' teapot that still looks elegant on the counter."

Goes in dishwasher, good size- makes two mugs of tea, nice and thick. Spout does dribble a bit.

I didn't even get to use this. Took it out of the box and admired it, then put the lid on - backwards apparently - and the lid was stuck. After reading the reviews here (search the reviews with the word "lid") and searching the internet for a solution, I finally got it unstuck using a sandwich spreader blade. One reviewer recommends to put on the lid by lining up the hole in the lid with the center of handle - good advice. After I got mine unstuck, I looked at the underside of the lid and the teapot opening. Both are round except for a straight section on each piece which fit together perfectly. This also lines up the aforementioned hole in the lid with the handle. For us non-engineers, it would be really helpful if the company would drop a little note in the box explaining how to put the lid into the pot opening without getting it stuck. A line drawing would be nice, too. The note should also tell how to get it unstuck. I bought this pot to use for every day and reduce the likelihood of breaking the teapot from my china set. It looks well made and sturdy. I did put water in it to check for the dripping mentioned by other reviewers and had zero problems with that. I think it's going to be good now that I know how to put it together. I'll update this review after I've actually used this pot a few times. Hope I'll be able to increase the star rating. GB Edit. This is a very good teapot. Large capacity and it keeps the tea hot. I wish I had bought a light color so I could see the inside better, but that's on me. I'm glad I am able to give another star to the rating. Edit again. I'm finding this teapot a pain to clean. I'm old school and like to brew tea by warming the pot, putting in the loose tea, adding the hot water and swirling. After brewing, I pour the tea through a tea strainer into the cup. This teapot has holes inside the pot at the base of the spout, thus trapping the tea leaves and forcing me to dig out the used tea leaves with my fingers. So if you buy this pot, be sure to use a strainer insert. The pot does not come with one so I thought the base of the spout would be completely open to the inside of the pot (tea leaves come out through the spout to be caught in a tea strainer - old school method but it brews better tea). Went back and read the description and saw that it does say it has large drain holes, which I misread as large drain hole. In looking at other teapots on Amazon, most do not address this, but a lot of them come with strainer inserts. I haven't found one yet that has a picture of the inside of the pot so that you can see if the spout is one large hole or several small ones. Although I'm returning this tea pot, I still rate it four stars - just use tea bags or a strainer insert.

This is a great teapot! It arrived in perfect condition, too. It seems very well-made. I'm a fan of the color green, so this teapot is right up my alley. The green teapot I received very much resembles the shade of green depicted in the photos for this product. It's sort of a grass green. This teapot would be too large just for one person; however, it ideal for 2-4 people. If I brew tea for my wife and I, it is the perfect amount for each of us to enjoy about two mugs of tea. This pot holds 48 ounces if filled all the way to the top. I generally use four teabags when I brew tea in this pot. I have yet to try loose leaf tea in this teapot. There are strainer holes inside the pot at the spout. They would help filter out loose leaf tea, but I suspect that small tea leaves will wind up in your cup. A tea strainer will be necessary for loose leaf brewing. Note that a tea strainer does NOT come with this teapot. The handle is comfortable and roomy enough for my fingers to grasp and hold and feels sturdy. The spout works well but does occasionally dribble just a bit of tea (not every time I pour from it), nothing excessive. I just wipe up a drop of two with a sponge. The lid fits quite well, too. While this teapot has a rather large capacity, it doesn't appear terribly large or feel unwieldy. And it doesn't take up much room on my countertop. If I am brewing tea for just myself, I use my Brown Betty teapot that has a lower capacity, about 16 ounces or so. I wash this teapot by hand, but it is dishwasher safe. For the $15.95 that I paid for this teapot, I'd say that I definitely got my money's worth and then some. This is a good deal for a well-made teapot. It comes in various colors, too. I can't think of anything I don't like about this product. If you're a tea-lover or have guests over who enjoy tea, this teapot would be a good investment. Highly recommended!

I've been looking for a classic looking functional teapot that I could proudly display on my buffet. I did an extensive research and came to a conclusion that most - if not all - ceramic, porcelain, or glass teapots all drip. This teapot is unfortunately no exception and it does drip a bit due to its rounded blunt spout tip no matter how carefully I pour (trust me, I tried) or even when it's less than half full where it's less likely to drip down the spout at the end of a pour. However, that does not stop me from rating the teapot a 5 star for its low cost, capacity, and function. I love the lid design with a latch that allows me to completely empty the teapot even at 90 degrees vertical. You can pretty much assume that you will never need to hold the lid while pouring. The lid also has a tiny vent hole on top that allows the teapot to pour more smoothly without making splash. The handle is a bit on the thin side as you can see on the photo, but it's an inch wide to allow me to have an adequate grip or thumb placement on top which is needed given that this is a large capacity teapot. The teapot also has 7 strain holes (each at about 3/8") at the base of the spout inside, so the design helps to catch larger tea leaves. I've tried loose Jasmine tea ( Sunflower Jasmine Tea 0.5 LB (227 g) ), and it did a decent job at catching most tea leaves, but quite a few leaves did end up in my cup. This is acceptable for Jasmine tea, but for other loose leaf teas, you'll probably want a tea ball infuser or strainer to capture the smaller fragments and to stop the bitterness from over brewing. The top opening is about 2 1/4 x 2 1/2 at the most, so you'll want about 2" diameter tea strainer if you're planning on using loose tea. I often find myself using the teapot personally although the capacity allows for group gathering. As for the drippings, I tie a piece of cloth or paper towel on the spout to help capture the liquid, or you should use a tray. I boil my water with an electric kettle ( Aroma AWK-115S Hot H20 X-Press 1-1/2-Liter Cordless Water Kettle ) in a jiffy, and the stoneware teapot does a very good job at retaining the heat. All in all, this is a great bargain teapot that's very functional and pleasant to look at.

This is a beautiful large sturdy teapot. I drink tea all day, every day so the right teapot is essential for me. This one is gorgeous and functional too.

The teapot is very pretty to look at - the color is vibrant (I bought the yellow) and it has an identical physical feel to some of the more expensive ceramic cookware brands. It’s easy to clean and has a gloss finish with a traditional design profile. It really pops against our white subway tiles. It holds its warmth well, and the lid is particularly secure - I haven’t had it fall out even at steep angles. However, it does drip from the spout while pouring - being a British expat in the US, I’m somewhat versed in the various ways of the tea drinker, so this isn’t user error. Most of the time, I find the tea runs down the underside of the pot and comes to a rest at the base, causing a circular stain in the countertop and requiring relatively regular cleaning of the teapot itself. I’ve found if you “flick” the pot up and away from the mug when you’re finishing pouring, so as to almost toss the final drips of tea away from the spout, it mitigates the issue. This is good practice while pouring tea anyway, but I have to be particularly violent with this pot. Clearly, most people would be reluctant to flick boiling liquid around their home, “violently” or otherwise. Regardless, it is difficult to design a teapot that doesn’t drip a bit, let alone at this price point, and I may have simply gotten unlucky. I’ll leave it to you to decide.
