How to choose the right Teapots

• Match capacity to your service style, choosing smaller pots for individual servings and larger volumes for breakfast buffets or afternoon tea stands.
• Consider material: stainless steel for durability and heat retention, ceramic for homely charm, and porcelain for a refined, premium presentation.
• Check that the spout design offers smooth, non-drip pouring to protect table linen and speed up service during busy periods.
• Think about where the teapots will be used, from hotel dining rooms and cafes to conference service and room service trays.
• Ensure the design is compatible with your existing cups, saucers and trays for a cohesive tableware look.
• For high-volume sites, prioritise teapots that are stackable or compact to save storage space in bar and service areas.

Care and maintenance

• Clean teapots promptly after service to prevent tannin build-up and staining, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
• Use non-abrasive cloths and approved detergents to protect stainless steel, ceramic and porcelain finishes from scratching.
• Check lids, hinges and handles regularly for looseness or damage, tightening or replacing parts as needed for safe service.
• Descale interiors periodically in hard water areas to maintain flavour quality and efficient heat retention.
• Allow teapots to cool before washing to reduce the risk of thermal shock, especially with ceramic and porcelain models.
• Store teapots dry and upright on stable shelving to avoid chips, dents and accidental knocks in busy kitchens or bars.

Pair your teapots with matching cups, saucers, jugs and beverage service accessories from our wider barware and tableware ranges.
