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 Brown Betty teapot is still made in Stoke-on-Trent with the same clay from the original area. British people believe the Brown Betty makes the best pot of tea because of the type of clay that is used and the shape of the pot. Available in 2cup(Small) , 4cup(Medium). 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. Please Note: We cannot guarantee whether your teapot will come embossed with "Original Staffordshire Brown Betty" on the side as the above pictures show. However, we can assure you that whether or not your teapot is embossed, you will be receiving an authentic Brown Betty teapot.
