Could I potentially use another teapot on this warming plate? How hot would you say that the warming plate actually gets?

yes you could use any teapot type. The warming plate is getting really hot!
1419437
Yes. It does not get hot. It is designed to keep the tea warm. The actual heat comes from the hot water. The plate is not as wide as the bottom of teapot, but teapot bottom is shaped such that the teapot locks in to the plate and does not slide. So if the other teapot is as small as the plate you can put it on it, but if it is wider and it would not touch the plate and sits over the top.

you could probably use another pot of the same size bottom, I have no clue how hot it gets...sorry

I know you can, I put my ceramic tea pot on it too. Temperatures is perfect to keep the tea warm, but never hot.

I broke my teapot right off the bat. I replaced it with a coffee carafe from an old coffee maker. It gets as hot as the warmer on a coffee maker gets - I wouldn't put my decorative china teapot on it.

I would put the teapot, already with the hot tea in it, on the plate, then turn it on. I use a standard ceramic pot purchased from a crockery store. That way, the plate's job is only to maintain the existing heat. I would not leave it there for more than half an hour. Nothing worse that stewed tea. If you do this, take the teabags out first.Brew tea for only 3-4 mins.

Yes you can use another teapot (same size). The plate is not hot (does not burn hand). It is warm to make tea and keep it warm.

The handle does not get noticeably hot (I pour steaming, but not boiling water into mine). The base certainly does get hot. I keep mine on a ceramic tea saucer for that very reason.

We honestly only use it as a decoration. I wouldn't attempt to heat it on a stove, I think the ceramic is too thin. However, pouring hot water into the teapot should be fine!

I'm not sure what you mean by a teapot warmer but if you mean a tea cozy, yes. Or if you mean some sort of heating device with an open flame, I'm not sure I would. If it's an electric one, probably yes. The set is fairly substantial so a gentle warmer won't likely harm it. An open flame might be to extreme.

No, there is no warming plate. Actually it wouldn´t make sense, since you make one cup at the time.

You need to put a wire on the burner and use a low heat. The teapot will keep your tea nice and hot this way, without hurting the teapot. Enjoy!

No, I don't think it would work with a warmer. The base is plastic, so it would insulate the tea from the heat, and it could potentially melt as well.

Oh boy, HB. You got so many interesting, funny, and/or stupid responses to this. Seeing as how it is now a year later, I'm sure this feed is dead, but I'm so happy I found it. Many teas steep well at 150 degrees (which is how hot this gets I believe), and anyone who has never put milk in their hot tea is truly missing out. I'm not sure if you were planning on just using water or using milk, but either way I think it's a winner.

Do not rely on this for that type of warming--depending on the quantity you need, a cup that is already warm will stay warm. I just do not think it will be your first consideration.

I don't think you can heat this pot. The way to use it, will be to pour in hot water and tea leaves and allow to stand to steep in the tea leaves.

I do not have a gas stove now but I have had gas stoves before the teapot is made very good and the handle is station neared so it will not get hot next to the pot I see no reason that you would not enjoy it on the gas stove

There should be no problem. I have used my warmer with a wide variety of teapots, and seems to work well with all.

No. This is not recommended. I did it once and the teapot survived, but I won't try again. It does keep hot water warm for a long time.

We've used it as a heating pad with hot water, but I wouldn't add boiling hot water from a tea kettle. If you do use the kettle to warm the water I'd make sure it's not boiling, but rather is 158 degrees (F) or slightly less since that's what the manufacture recommends. Best of luck!!

I would not recommend using a warmer with this teapot. It's a beautiful piece, and I love the detail, however, I do not think the porcelain will do well with direct heat.

Amanda, I do NOT think that a warmer sitting underneath the pot will work. You want to keep the tea warm, which is in the glass vessel. The tea cools because the glass loses the heat too easily. However, a custom fabric or knitted/ crocheted "tea cozy" should work. It would be insulation for the glass.
