What you notice first

How is the Vintage Copper Teapot different?

(What makes handcrafted copper different from mass-produced kitchenware)

CRAFT

Hand-hammered finish ensures each teapot is a unique masterpiece, unlike any factory-made piece.

MATERIAL

Solid copper construction provides excellent thermal conductivity, enhancing the tea serving experience.

DESIGN

French-inspired aesthetics bring elegance and old-world charm to your tea rituals.

FUNCTION

Tin-lined interior ensures safe, reactive-free beverage service, preserving the purity of your tea.

Why copper-look teapots disappoint

Cuisinart teapots offer affordability but often use thin copper veneers over aluminum, leading to hot spots and inconsistent heat control. This can result in uneven brewing and potential delamination over time.

Before you decide

"If the teapot just needs to serve tea, Cuisinart does the job. For legacy and artistry, this is unmatched."

"If what you want is a hand-hammered, tin-lined copper teapot that brings ceremony to tea, this is it."
