Full details
This Dexam Sintra Teapot in Stone is designed for tea enthusiasts who value both aesthetic appeal and practical use. Its primary benefit is offering a generous 1200ml capacity, ideal for serving multiple people, while its hand-glazed terracotta construction adds rustic charm. A potential caveat is that the unique hand-finished glaze means each piece has subtle natural variations, making it one-of-a-kind but potentially inconsistent in exact appearance.

Does the stone glaze affect the taste of the tea?

Troubleshooting
Teapot has a slight imperfection in the glaze.
This is a normal characteristic of hand-finished products. The subtle natural variations make each teapot unique and do not affect its functionality.
Tea appears to be staining the inside.
Rinse the teapot thoroughly after each use. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and rinsed off.
Teapot feels rough to the touch.
This may be due to the natural texture of terracotta and the glaze. Ensure no debris is stuck to the surface. If significant roughness persists, contact customer service.
Handle feels loose.
If the handle becomes loose, this is a manufacturing defect. Do not use the teapot and contact the retailer or manufacturer for a replacement.
