The La Cafetiere Rialto 1.2L glass teapot with wooden handle and lid is a clear-glass teapot designed for brewing and serving loose-leaf tea.

The design suits everyday home use and small gatherings, and its straightforward shape makes it easy to rinse and maintain.

The wooden handle remains comfortable to hold when pouring and complements table settings with a warm, natural appearance. The 1.2-litre capacity is suitable for multiple cups at once while the simple form and materials allow for easy cleaning and minimal maintenance.

How to use

Preheat the teapot by rinsing with warm water, then add the desired amount of loose-leaf tea into the pot or an infuser if using one. Pour freshly boiled water over the leaves and allow to steep for the recommended time for the tea variety. Use the wooden handle to pour once steeping is complete. After use, let the teapot cool slightly, remove leaves or infuser and rinse the glass body and wooden elements with warm water. Dry the wooden handle and lid thoroughly to preserve their appearance.

Usage recommendations

Avoid placing the teapot directly on an open flame or hotplate; pour hot water into the glass body rather than heating the pot itself. Hand wash the teapot and dry wooden parts promptly to prevent prolonged exposure to moisture. Use an infuser or strain when brewing fine leaves to reduce residue in the pot.
