Details
The famous Brown Betty Teapot is also available as the Cobalt Betty.
This little teapot has quite a history. Its origins date back to the end of the 17th Century and the birth of the British Ceramic Teapot. The original unglazed teapot was made out of red clay from the Bradell Woods area in Stoke-on-Trent. Today the Cobalt Betty teapot is still made in Stoke-on-Trent with the same clay from the original area (exactly like our genuine Brown Betty). British people believe the Betty makes the best pot of tea because of the type of clay that is used and the shape of the pot.
The 4 cup Cobalt Betty holds approximately 24 fluid ounces.
Dimensions: 8.5 inches L x 6 inches H (with lid) x 3.5 inches W (mouth of teapot is 2.5 inches)
This teapot is lovingly hand-made in Staffordshire England. Because these teapots are hand made, there may be some slight imperfections. These teapots are not intended for use in a microwave or on a stovetop. We recommend an electric tea kettle to boil the water for brewing your tea. Cobalt Bettys are dishwasher safe, however the best care is to rinse in hot water and allow to air dry.
Please Note: The Cobalt Betty teapots come with a back stamp that states "Adderley Ceramics Original Betty Made in England" .

Very nice teapot
I wanted a teapot to make two cups of tea and was undecided which size to choose. I ordered the 4-cup size in the Cobalt Betty, and I'm glad I went up to that size and not the 2-cup size. These are sized for 6-oz "cups," and almost all cups (at least in the U.S.) hold at least 8 oz., even my nicer china cups. Mugs often hold 10 oz or more, so the "4-cup"/24 oz. size is just right for what I wanted. It's still a small teapot. I've had no problem with crazing or cracking so far. I do fill the pot with hot tap water while my kettle is coming to a boil, and then I pour that out and swish the teapot with a little bit of boiling water. I pour that out and then add my tea, either loose or in bags, and fill it with boiling water, put the lid on, and let the tea steep. These pots are not for heating the water; it should be brought to boiling in a kettle or other pot. The stamping on the bottom is very hard to read, but I'm pleased with this little teapot so far. The cobalt is a nice shade of very dark cobalt blue. Just be aware the capacity is not as large as the description sounds.
