Classic Brown Betty Tea Pot | Hand Made 4 Cup Brown Betty Teapot | Made with Traditional Staffordshire Red Clay | Ceramic Teapot for Loose Leaf Tea or Teabags | 36 fl oz

High quality, well made, attractive, NOT made in China and makes the perfect cup of tea! There are no issues with the handle getting hot and the handle is not hollow, it's just indented on the inside so it appears to be so. If you do think it's hot it's because you are holding the pot wrong and your fingers are actually making contact with the pot itself. I make a pot of tea every morning and looking forward to a long relationship with my 4-cup little Brown Betty!

A beauty! The Brown Betty from Stratforshire

This product was made in England, and has a very long history of being the very best teapot available.The downside is the outside brown coating tends to crack. This doesn't affect its ability to brew tea. It just doesn't look very pretty. Still, I would use no other teapot.

I have been buying Brown Betty teapots for over 40 yrs This one was thin doesn't feel like it will holdAlso doesn't hold the heat like my others

Great durable teapot. Perfect size and keeps the tea warm

After a few use the outside of the teapot glaze is cracking. This is the second teapot that has problems, the first one it was the glaze inside the teapot. I love the Brown Betty teapot and will give it a chance once more. I only hand wash it.

I am enjoying my Brown Betty teapot. It makes tea time extra special.

I lost the lid of my beloved, almost 45 year old, truly original brown betty in a butterfinger accident. This teapot seemed like a reasonable replacement. It's the worst teapot I've ever owned! There are 3 major problems. The side handle is far too small, especially when the teapot is full. The top handle on the lid is too wide and "thick waisted" for a good grip, and because the vent hole is on the side, the lid handle remains too hot. There is no interior tea filter, so I both get too many tea leaves in my cup, but also lose tea for continued steeping and cannot easily compost my used tea leaves. The teapot also dribbles on pouring. I've used the teapot for 2 days, and thus don't feel comfortable returning it, but I'll keep ordering "brown betty" teapots until I find one that is functional. Now that I know what does NOT work, I'll not use a new pot until I compare old and new and find a new pot that will work.
