teapot

A teapot is a vessel designed for brewing, pouring, and serving tea. Typically made of ceramic, metal, or glass, it features a spout for pouring, a handle for holding, and a lid to keep the tea hot. Hot water is poured over tea leaves inside or into a separate infuser within the teapot, allowing the tea to steep. Once brewed, the spout directs the liquid into a cup. Teapots vary in size, shape, and material, and are used worldwide as both functional and decorative items in tea preparation and presentation.
