High Borosilicate Glass Teapot 550ml with Walnut Handle - Heat-Resistant Clear Teapot

Watching tea brew is half the pleasure, and it is also how you know when to stop. This High Borosilicate Glass Teapot is fully transparent, so you can see the colour develop and pour at the strength you actually want rather than guessing and getting something stewed. Borosilicate is the specification that matters: it is engineered to handle sudden temperature change, so pouring boiling water into it will not crack it the way ordinary glass can. The walnut handle is both practical and the reason it looks good on a table — wood does not conduct heat, so the handle stays comfortable when the pot is full of boiling water, and the warm grain against clear glass is far more attractive than a moulded plastic grip. 550ml serves two generous cups.

Specifications

Buying guide

Borosilicate is the thing to check when buying any glass teapot, because ordinary glass can crack when boiling water hits it — borosilicate is made to take that thermal shock. Capacity next: 550ml is two generous cups, which suits one or two people, so look at a larger pot if you regularly serve a table. Glass suits flowering teas, herbal infusions and anything where colour is part of the experience, and it does not retain flavours between different teas the way a clay or well-used ceramic pot does. Care is straightforward but worth following: warm the pot with a little hot water before filling it fully, avoid taking it from cold straight to boiling, and wash by hand rather than in a dishwasher to keep the glass clear and protect the wooden handle. Never soak the walnut handle, and dry it rather than leaving it wet.

How it compares

Against a ceramic teapot, glass lets you see the brew and does not carry flavours between teas, while ceramic retains heat longer. Compared with a stainless steel pot, glass is far better for judging strength and for flowering teas. Against a teapot with a metal or plastic handle, walnut stays cool to hold and looks considerably better. Against brewing in a mug, a pot serves two cups at consistent strength.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pour boiling water straight in?
It is high borosilicate glass, made to handle thermal shock, but warming the pot with a little hot water first is still good practice and kinder to any glass.

How many cups does 550ml make?
Two generous cups, so it suits one or two people. For serving a table, look for a larger pot.

How should I clean it?
Wash by hand rather than in a dishwasher, to keep the glass clear and protect the walnut handle. Never soak the handle, and dry it rather than leaving it wet.
