Can this teapot be placed on a stove?

This is a teapot, not a tea kettle. It cannot be put on the stove. It is very pretty and I've had many compliments.

No. It is not. Boil water then add tea bags or loose leaves. It is ceramic and not a tea kettle.

if you mean on a heated stove, no. The glaze will eventually crack and possibly the bottom may leak, believe me years ago I tried this . Bonnie S

I haven't tried placing it on a stove. It is sitting on a shelf as part of my tea pot collection. I usually boil water and add loose tea or tea bags then place the tea pot on top of a kettle that is placed on the stove. The tea tea is brewed on the steam from the kettle. But I have not tried brewing tea in this tea pot.

Some of the teapot can be used on stovetop, it will state on the literature.I heat my water in the microwave and add the blooming tea, I enjoy this teapot very much. I have not used tea bags nor loose tea, I am sure they will work the same way, tea likes to seep. I hope I have answered your question.sincerely, Alice

Historically, this is a bean pot not a tea pot. It was made for slow cooking of beans @ 225 degrees for extended cooking. I would not try to use for on the stove. My previous bean pot served me for 52 years. But I never used on top of the stove.!!!!!

This is meant for brewing tea, so I don't know if can be heated on the stove. I would recommend getting a pot meant for the stove instead of this one just to be safe.

No I would not put it on a stove. It seems quite fragile. I think it should be only used as intended. There is a metal base in which you put a candle to warm it up, or keep it warm, but putting it on electric stove would probably not a good idea.

I would not suggest it. This is just to keep it from direct heat on your furniture. The teapot holds heat pretty well.

No, it is not designed for stovetop use. It is for putting your tea bags in and then adding hot water.

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.

My teapot stays on my stove. Can't imagine putting any hot pot on wooden floor

I have a gass stove top, so I can't know for sure. However, it should heat up the same way any metal pot would on that type of stove top. I've been using this particular tea kettle for many years and love it.

This is a ceramic tea POT. To boil on the stove you are looking for a tea KETTLE. There are some exceptions, but for the most part to make tea correctly and safely you need one of each. Tea kettles are made of materials that can stand up to the extreme heat from below and cooling liquid inside/above they encounter on the stove, typically metal. Tea pots are made of materials that can stand the less-intense heat gradient from boiling water to ambient temperature, and won't impart flavor to the tea, typically ceramics. If you steep the tea in a metal kettle, you will likely get unpleasant metallic flavors in your tea, because tea is acidic and will dissolve some of the metal into your drink. If you boil water stove-top in a tea pot, it will very likely crack, possibly violently, and spew hot water everywhere. There are a relatively few pots out there made out of materials that work both stove top and for steeping. The ones I've seen have mostly been made out of Pyrex or similar materials. Do *not* assume a glass tea pot is safe to put on the stove, though. Most glass is at least as likely to explode on top of the stove as a ceramic pot, and will make much more dangerous shards. Personally, I'm not comfortable with even glassware that claims to be safe on the top of the stove.

I would not put this on an electric stove. I would boil water and add it to the tea pot.

Yes. But it is too small for stovetop. The teapot size is toy size. I really don't use it.

I don't have one (yet) but I doubt it. There might be a little ridge for the tea light to sit in, but even if it's just flat on the bottom, the sterno is probably too tall and would get soot on the bottom of your teapot from the flame being too high.

The reason you are not supposed to heat it over the stove is because you should not be steeping your tea in boiling water. The pot it for steeping, not cooking, and if you want to make several batches of tea with good leaves (like you should be able to), you don't want to pour water in, boil it and then reheat the leave over and over and over again when they should stay warm. This is not good for the tea.

The teapot is more decorative than functional. I *might* put it on a warmer, but definitely not on a stovetop.
