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.
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 6 cup Cobalt Betty holds approximately 36 fluid ounces. Dimensions: 8.5 inches L x 6.5 inches H (with lid) x 3.75 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 stove top. We recommend an electric tea kettle to boil the water for brewing your tea. Please Note: The Cobalt Betty teapots come with a back stamp that states “Adderley Ceramics Original Betty Made in England” .

Lovely teapot – just what I wanted. Really lovely teapot. When used with a good tea cozy, the handle does get hot. Perfect size – enough for two really good sized mugs of tea plus some extra. Only negative is that the finish on the inside of the rim where the cap fits is speckled.
Quality Issues There are quality issues with these pots. The one I ordered has a problem with the glaze on the lid, where it has crazed and looks poor.The teapot itself is fine and it does make lovely tea.
The real deal Perfect teapot and keeps tea warm with the use of a cozy. Great color.
