Can I put the tea in the teapot and pour in boiling water without danger of cracking the pot?

Claudia_ I can only respond of course about my own personal use of the teapot. I use several times a week and have had no problems at all. The pot might eventually crack years from now due to use . No one could predict tat. Only can say that it is after all a teapot and was designed to be used. I do that and again, quite frequently and without problems. Enjoy your teapot. It's so lovely. I'm sure you will enjoy as much as I do mine. Good luck.

Hi, I don't honestly know. I assume you would be able to. That's what it's made for. I have not used mine yet. It is beautiful! I would contact seller for this question though just to make sure.

I'm pretty sure you can. I gave it as a gift and the recipient has told me it's been used to make tea several times.

I haven't used mine yet. However, I did buy two other tea pots from here and they were perfectly fine after pouring the boiling water over the teabags. I'm sure it would be fine. To make sure, I would start out with allowing the water to cool for a little while (at least one minute) before pouring, and or just pour a little at a time to see what happens.

No. Heat water in a metal or glass Tea Kettle then put it into the Teapot containing the tea.

I use it to steep the tea so I pour boiling water in to it. I know there is a candle warmer for it to stay hot. I wouldn;t put it on the stove myself.

No you can not. You must boil the water and add it to the pot. It is a very stunning piece but any glass tea pot is some what fragil. I do love it however.

It is never safe to pour rolling boiling water into any container. Once the bubbles have stopped, gently pour the boiled water into the pitcher that has been at room temp. I always set my pitcher on a coaster or bamboo trivet so it does not make contact with the counter since the glass is thin.

This is a double walled teapot for brewing the tea in. Although I have kept the tea warm on my woodstove it would be best to heat the water in a separate container.

The instructions say no, but I have put very warm tea in the pitcher, let it sit to room temperature for an hour and then refrigerated to make iced tea. No problems (so far). I wouldn't pour boiling water in it, nor would I refrigerate right away.

This is a teapot for holding tea, not for boiling water. You'll still need a kettle for that.The handle doesn't get hot when using it for serving.

Yes but I would not pour boiling water in it. The pot is made of thin glass

I'm not sure, I've never really tried that. I just boil my water in a tea pot. I will tell you that I have purchased this for three people, as well as myself. That's how much I like it.

I wouldn't put it in a teapot - just put it in your mug and pour the water over top and let it steep in the mug.

You would have to have a strainer of some sort. This pot is great for boiling the water and pouring in the cup but the loose leaf tea would require an additional fine strainer.

The pot is for steeping tea. The heaviness of the pot keeps the water temperature hot much longer during steeping so the tea poured is at the right temp. Tea can be steeped by putting loose tea directly in the pot and after 4 minutes pouring it directly into a cup through a tea strainer (or) let the leaves come into cup. Tea can also be put in a tea ball (anything with a handle will keep the lid from closing completely allowing the water to cool somewhat). You can also, of course, use tea bags.

A tea 'pot' is a vessel used to SERVE tea, a tea 'kettle' is a vessel you put on the stove to heat water for making tea. If you, indeed mean to use this to serve tea, then yes you can use it for that. It does have the wire mesh press mechanism inside, which is not ideal for serving. You should not, however, put this French press on your stove as it would likely become damaged.

NO! I have poured boiling water in it, but do not place it on a stove and heat it because it will break!

My answer would be to reheat it in the microwaveable cup you drink from...I don't know if the pot is microwaveable and I sure wouldn't want to break it so as I do with coffee and tea I microwave it for a short time but don't boil it...it should be fine.
