London PotteryUK Globe British Design 6 Cup Teapot 1.2L Turquoise Bora Blue - 17236195

I’ve been looking for an XL size teapot for a while and recently purchased a Denby Halo teapot but returned it as it could only manage 4 cups despite being called extra large, it was great quality though.I saw this London Pottery Extra Large and had a read of the reviews but there weren’t many for the extra large and hardly any photos. After taking the decision to purchase the teapot XL I wanted to share my review to help others in their decision.Firstly I’ve added a good number of photos to show the teapot and the number of mugs it can fill. Secondly, I can confirm that the XL teapot can easily fill 12 mugs of standard and large size. I thought it could perhaps manage 10 mugs but it just kept going.It’s also dribble and drip free which is an awesome bonus as the wife hates me dribbling everywhere..Things to be aware of;The teapot needs to be warmed first before being ready to receive kettle temperature boiling water, a minor thing but worth flagging as I’ve only had teapots I could put boiling water in straight away.The lid has a very specific angle that needs to be respected when inserting it and removing it, if not done correctly it can cause trouble.The weight when full of three litres of water could be a struggle to lift for some, usefully there is a finger lip to support liftingThis is the first week of ownership, if anything good or bad crops up I’ll update this review. So far so good and the fact it fills 12 mugs is perfect for us.

We initially bought a Brown Betty teapot from Cauldon Ceramics, assuming they would all be similar. Big mistake - it looked good but the lid rattled and trying to mix the tea infusing inside it by giving it a swirl caused liquid to eject from the spout. Even worse, it dribbled when the tea was poured. Fortunately it didn't last long and this time I did a bit of research before buying a replacement.The London Pottery Globe Teapot has proved to be perfect. The design is sleeker than the somewhat clunky, bulbous one from Cauldon Ceramics, with an even blemish-free Rockingham glaze. Even more importantly, you can give the contents a swirl without the risk of liquid splashing out and it pours well - no annoying dribbles on your tablecloth. Highly recommended.

This is the perfect teapot for making a single mug of tea. I needed a teapot because I switched to using non-plastic containing tea bags which tend to split when I try to brew tea directly in a mug so this teapot is the ideal solution. Happy to recommend it to others.

Loved the size, colour and design. Just enough for 3 mugs. Pours well no drips. Only problem is reaching in small hole to get out used teabags, its a bit small. A nice teapot overall.

This is a lovely teapot, it holds enough tea to fill a pint mug. However saying that there is one tiny fault with the teapot as far as I am concerned. A teapot’s spout should be level with the top of the teapot, why, because if you fill it right up it shouldn’t slop tea out of the spout as it is being carried on a tray. To be fair it is advertised as two cups & maybe that’s just what it is but I want a drink not just a mouthful. Even so I do like my spotted teapot.

Teapot arrived intact . Excellent packaging.Will definitely use this company again.Lovely teapot .Many Thanks.

Lovely little pot but did not come with a strainer like it said it would so disappointed as was the main reason I chose this one.

really nice teapot

Beautiful colour, great quality, lovely gift.

I just received this and have already used it and am very happy. I was looking for a very large teapot because I drink a lot in the winter months. It's very well made, sturdy. Pours well, no drips. The only thing I found concerning was the way it was packed for shipping. The box it comes offers little damage protection. And then it was just thrown in a box with a little bit of brown paper for cushioning. This shipped from London to NY. The outside box had a little damage but luckily there was no damage to the actual product. Seller should be more conscientious.

It’s perfect what can I say. The mini 2 cup pot is adorable. I might have to get one in each size.

This teapot is not made in England. It is made and shipped from China. There is no London logo. The accompanying literature says that the pot is “designed” in England but this may or may not be true. A teapot from china is not worth $80.00 CDN., no matter where it was designed.

Ok so you can't beat an English teapot. So happy I read all the reviews and went back to an English teapot despite the punishing delivery fee. I wanted a black teapot and although I bought a size (40 oz) I thought would be too small it's exactly 40 oz capacity and it makes 3 large cups of tea (12 oz I guess). Gorgeous shine on it. Solid ceramic. Love it.
