Gracie China by Coastline Imports FD480-1 Gracie China Porcelain 3 Cup Tea Pot, Pink Petite Fleur

I drink a lot of tea, especially in an afternoon style way. I dislike drinking it one cup at a time in a standard coffee mug, so I decided to get a personal sized teapot that I could use on my weekends and after work. Gone is the need to get up and reheat water and use a teabag for each serving, I just make a nice pot and sit it down at my computer and pour and sip away the afternoon. It does dribble, but I addressed that problem easily below. To the people complaining when you pour it comes out the top, that is easily corrected. Whenever you fill a teapot, you have to be careful when pouring. The trick when it is full is to only slightly angle it down, and allow some of the tea to drain out the spout into the cup. If you just pour it at a crazy angle like it's nearly empty of course it will spill out the top, start off very slight then add more angle as the tea is dispensed. I have never had a problem with leaking out the top with this pot.I posted a photo of how I use it. The Ulster Weavers Pom Knitted tea cosy is a perfect fit, it goes over and has a little bit of slack. Ulster Weavers Pom Pom a Terrific Knitted Decorative Tea Cosy/Hat It also looks adorable, and reminds me a bit of a circus big top. It also manages to keep my tea hot for about 30 minutes, which is how long it takes me to drink the whole pot.Finally, when you finish pouring and put the teapot back upright, it does have a tendency to dribble. You could avoid that by holding a paper towel or napkin under it, but that isn't very elegant. Instead, use the lemon tea drip catcher. MSC Lemon Tea Drip Catcher - 2 PackI did not care for the gracie china teacups, they were clunky and heavy and felt like paperweights in my hand, which is not what I want when drinking tea. This teapot, however, is exactly what I want in a teapot. The perfect size for a single person, functional, and looks pricier than what I paid for it.

This is a dainty, pretty teapot. It looks more expensive than it is. It was an especially good deal because it was included in the 4 for 3 promotion.I feel it is practical and pretty. Personally, I did not observe any color differences between the top and the pot. Perhaps, I am not looking as carefully as the other reviewer. The word petite is used to describe this pot, but don't mistake it for one of the very small teapots. It does hold 3 cups, which for me is good.It is dishwasher safe but not microwaveable. However, since it only holds 3 cups, personally I won't need to microwave it to warm up some tea.

Appearance is delicate yet it’s a functional item for daily us

Just right for brewing real tea for two. Get the matching cups and saucers. Looks nice in any decor.Check on how to brew a perfect cup of tea and get the glass tea kettle for making tea from Amazon also.Modest price for both.

Question. How useful is a tea pot if one cannot brew tea in it? Reason I ask is because that is the case with this tea pot. Where an built-in "sieve" should be is a big gaping whole through which even the largest of tea leaves will go straight into your tea cup. Talk about a failed design. Moreover, it's not even a nice gaping whole; instead it's a whole clearly chipped out after the tea pot was made. That is, it is uneven and has fairly sharp edges. You could probably cut yourself with it if you put your fingers there while washing it. Seriously, who buys a tea pot to use tea bags? I'm disappointed beyond words. Cheap made-in-china stuff. Stay away.

I chose this teapot because I loved the demure little rose pattern and it's tradional styling. I also bought the teacup and saucers to match as well. This all made for a lovely gift for my new daughter-in-law.However when the teapot arrived the lid was broken. I quickly returned it and within 2 days it was replaced with a new one, which was fully intact. Although I was disappointed about the broken teapot lid, the return process was super easy and delivery was fast. Great customer service.Amazon!!.

I purchased this pot to match the Pink Petite Fleur Snack Sets. The pot is a nice shape and size, large enough for several snack set cups.The pot arrives in a brown cardboard box with some soft wrap around it. One thing about my pot that you may be able to see in the photo is that the top is more white than cream. It's not different enough for me to return it, but it was definitely a surprise. Otherwise the pot was as expected.

I received the teapot a day before the estimated time and it was very tightly packed so as not to get chipped or scratched. The Pot itself is very nice. It holds a very well-designed and appealing look to it. The pot is not too heavy and the lid fit nicely. Very happy with this product and will do well for my tea parties.
