can this teapot be placed on the stovetop to heat?

No, you would heat the water in a separate kettle. This is only a ceramic pot.

It is regular ceramic and I doubt it would survive being placed directly on heat without cracking.I don't have ANY trouble with it dripping. Naturally it is important to line the vent hole in the lid away from the "downside" when pouring.

Hello, Carol, generally speaking, it is a bad idea to put crockery on the stove top. However, this tea pot can be put in the microwave. The best way to make the most flavorful cup of tea is to heat water on the stove (boiling hot if it is black tea or herbal blends; other teas--- white, red, oolong and green-- google for additional heat temperatures information) and then pour the water over the leaves in an infuser or an infuser basket. Anyway, this is more information than you've asked for. This is a beautiful blue teapot but it drips. There ought to be a law.

Absolutely not! There are glass teapots for stove use but this is not one of them.

No, it is a teapot for steeping tea, not a tea kettle. It should not be placed on anyheated appliance. It also chips fairly easily.

If you mean over a flame, then, no...this is a teapot strictly for steeping. Otherwise, I steep on the middle section of my stove with it resting on a cozy.

I wouldn't use this on a stovetop. It's meant to have already hot water poured into it.

NO it is not safe for an electric stove top. Just pour the boiling water into the tea pot. DO NOT put it on a burner, it will most definitely melt the plastic

This pot is not intended for stove top use. You are supposed to boil the water in sonething else then pour it into this pot to make your 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.

I researched that, too. There is no cast iron teapot for use on the stove that I can find, but people on the internet seem to be doing fine using theirs on the stovetop. The manufacturer says it could crack the enamel, so I haven't.

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

No. The instructions say to not use it on the stove top. It can be kept warm with a tea light though. It has a base built for it.

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.

Because of the ceramic interior, it cannot be used on the stove top (interior will crack). This is a service kettle used to brew and keep tea warm for longer periods. It can be placed above a warmer (the kind that uses a tea light candle) to keep it toasty.

Definitely! I like my tea HOT and have been using this teapot with boiling water for a year without an issue

Hi, Kent. No, you should not heat this pot. The inside is lined with enamel, and that high heat would crack the enamel coating. The most heat this teapot could withstand is a candle beneath to keep your tea warm.

The tea pot is not meant to be used on a stove or in a microwave. It is a steeping pot only.
