Chinese Clay Teapot, 450ml, Dragon Design
This Chinese clay teapot holds 450ml and comes in your choice of black or brown. It features a hand-painted lucky dragon design and is built for loose-leaf tea brewing.

The Real Difference
Your Tea Deserves a Proper Clay Teapot
Honey, there is something about pouring from a clay teapot that just slows the whole morning down in the best possible way. This one holds a generous 450ml, enough for you and a friend, or two generous cups all to yourself. The lucky dragon watching over your brew is a nice touch too. Between you and me, tea simply tastes better when the vessel has a little soul.
What You're Getting
Clay, Color, and a Dragon Worth Trusting
Well now, let me tell you what makes this Chinese clay teapot worth a second look. The clay holds heat beautifully, which matters more than people think. You pick your color, black or brown, both are handsome on a tea tray. The lucky dragon design is painted right on, not a sticker, mind you. At 450ml it is a proper size, not too fussy, not too large. A solid, honest teapot.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered Honestly
How much tea does this teapot actually hold?
It holds 450ml, dear. That is a comfortable two large cups or three smaller ones. Plenty for a quiet morning sit-down, or sharing with someone you like enough to brew for.
Can I use this teapot on the stovetop or in the microwave?
Hold on now, this one is not meant for the stovetop. Brew your water separately in a kettle first, then pour it in. That is the proper way with a clay teapot anyway, and it will serve you much better in the long run.
Is this teapot good for loose-leaf tea?
That is exactly what it is built for. Clay teapots and loose-leaf tea are old friends, believe me. The material retains heat well while your leaves steep, which is just what you want for a proper cup.
How do I take care of a clay teapot?
Hand wash only, sweetheart. No dishwasher, no harsh soap. A gentle rinse and a good air dry is all it needs. Treat it kindly and it will be on your tea tray for years.
Which color should I choose, black or brown?
Well now, that is entirely up to you. Black is a little more dramatic, brown is warmer and more traditional. Both look lovely with the dragon design. Pick the one that makes you smile when you see it on your shelf.

What are your delivery times?
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, and US delivery usually takes 5 to 12 business days. You will receive tracking by email as soon as your order ships.
How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.

Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
