Technical details
Raw stoneware pig teapot, 7 oz
This little stoneware pig teapot holds about 7 oz, which makes it a natural fit for gongfu-style brewing: small, intentional, one or two cups at a time. It is made from raw stoneware, unglazed on the outside, with ears that stand up and a snout that serves as the spout. Mind you, it brews as well as it charms. If you are curious about how to brew loose leaf tea with the right times and temperatures, that guide is a good place to start before your first pour.
The benefit
A pig that earns its place on the tea table
Let me tell you, most teapots just sit there. This one makes people laugh before the kettle even stops steaming. The ears are up, the snout is the spout, and guests who spot it on the table forget whatever they were worried about. And then the tea is good, which is the best part. A raw stoneware pig teapot that actually brews well is a rare and wonderful thing, honey.
Product details
Raw stoneware, honest and sturdy
Raw stoneware is the real deal, dear. No fussy glaze on the outside, just the material as it is, which means it has a nice weight in your hand and a texture that feels like something made to last. At about 7 oz, this pig teapot is sized for gongfu sessions: small pours, good leaves, full attention. It is also, between you and me, one of the better gifts you can give a tea lover who thinks they have seen everything.
In use
Gongfu morning with a pig on the tray
Picture this. You set your wooden tea tray on the table, you measure your leaves, and there sits the pig, ears up, ready. Seven ounces fills one or two small cups, which is exactly how gongfu is meant to go: short steeps, multiple rounds, the flavor changing with each pour. Your guest walks in, sees the snout, and the whole morning gets a little lighter. Well now, that is a good start.
Everyday proof
Small teapot, surprisingly practical
Hold on now, do not let the pig shape fool you into thinking this is just a novelty. Seven ounces is a perfectly sensible size for solo gongfu brewing, and raw stoneware holds heat well enough for a proper steep. Believe me, the people who buy this one come back for more. It washes up easily, it sits steady, and it does exactly what a teapot is supposed to do, just with considerably more personality than most.

FAQ
Your questions, answered
How much tea does this pig teapot actually hold?
About 7 oz, which is just right for one or two small gongfu-style cups. It is not meant for a big table of guests, but for a focused, intentional brew session. Think of it as your personal teapot, the one you reach for when you want to slow down a little.
What is raw stoneware, and does it affect the taste of my tea?
Raw stoneware is unglazed ceramic, fired at high heat. It is a porous material, which means it can absorb a little of the tea over time, the same way a clay teapot does. Many tea lovers consider that a good thing. It will not add any off flavors, and it holds heat nicely for a proper steep.
Is this teapot good for gongfu brewing?
Yes, that is exactly what it is sized for. Gongfu brewing uses small teapots, short steeps, and multiple rounds from the same leaves. At 7 oz, this pig teapot fits that practice well. It is also perfectly fine for a simple one-cup brew if that is how you prefer your morning tea.
Can I give this as a gift even if the person is a serious tea drinker?
Absolutely. The description lists gifting as one of its intended uses, and for good reason. A teapot that brews well and makes people smile is a gift that works on every level. Serious tea lovers have a sense of humor too, and they will appreciate that this one actually does its job.
What is the return and shipping policy?
Free shipping across the US, and you have 30 days to return it if something is not right. Granny Lulu also promises a real person answering every email, so if you have a question about your order, you will hear back from an actual human being. No automated replies, no waiting in the dark.

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.
Do you offer a warranty on your products?
Yes, all our products are guaranteed for 1 year against manufacturing defects, on top of the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
Absolutely. We offer a 30-day return policy: if a product does not suit you, email teatime@luluteapot.com and we will make it right.
