The specification that sets this teapot apart is that it can go directly over an open flame. That means you can brew on the hob — simmering ginger, lemongrass, hibiscus or spices — and then serve from the same pot, instead of boiling in a sufuria and transferring. For herbal and fruit infusions, which benefit from actual heat rather than a single pour of hot water, that is a real difference in the result. 1.4 litres serves four to six cups, the infuser holds loose leaves and botanicals, and heat-resistant borosilicate glass lets you watch the colour develop. Suitable for fruit tea, herbal tea, spiced infusions and infused water.

Buying guide
When using it on a flame, keep the burner small and centred under the base and never let it burn dry — glass on direct heat is safe when there is liquid in it and fails when there is not. Heat gradually rather than starting on full, and never move a hot pot onto a cold wet surface. Remove the infuser once the brew is at the strength you want, since leaves continue extracting and turn a pot bitter. Wash by hand and remove limescale with warm water and lemon rather than scrubbing, which scratches glass.
How it compares
Against a standard glass teapot, being flame safe lets you simmer on the hob and serve from the same vessel. Against the 1.8L teapot, this is a slightly smaller serving size for a smaller household. Against a ceramic pot, glass shows the brew but holds heat for less time.
