How wide (in inches) is the opening? I want to use a tea ball in it, but want to make sure to buy the right size.

The opening is 2 1/2 inches. There is no lip protruding into the mouth, that's on the lid.

The top opening is 2 1/2 inches. Be careful when you fit the lid on. the lid holder does not go on any old way.

2 1/2 inches. I fit one of these in mine: Finum Brewing Basket, medium , black

I Michelle, I measured about the same - actual opening is slighly less than 6 inches, 7 3/4 inside. This is a great piece. Take care.

I own two of these , one for work and one for home. The rim is 3 and3/4 inches across. The actual opening where the lid might go is 2 and 1/4 inches.I usually steep my tea and then remove the strainer and put the lid on. Or the lid can rest on top but it isn't secure.

3 1/2 " diameter. It's a lovely tea pot, even nicer than pictured. I was pleasantly surprised & it makes a good amount of tea. I'm 55 & Irish & this is the best teapot I've ever owned :)

The overall length of the OXO Twisting Tea Ball is 7 inches. Hope this information helps.

The part that holds the tea is approximately 4 inches deep by 3 inches wide. It is quite large for a single cup of tea. The size 1 would probably be more appropriate for a single cup.

Hello,I can advise it does not matter as to what size cup it is. Most cups are compatible with the perfect tea maker. Have a great day!

I used a regular tape measure inside the lip, and the tape read 2 9/16". So you should have no problem at all getting a 2 1/2" sphere in the opening. You have a little extra room, because the tape wasn't measuring the true diameter, it was a 1/4" offcenter from the centerline. So the diameter is probably 2 5/8"

Sorry for the delay in responding. The base of the teapot is a little less than 7 inches. It fits quite nicely the small burner of the stove.

I think it depends on the size of your warmer. I do think it might fit. The base measures 4 1/2 by 3 1/2. I hope this helps. The Tea pot is lovely and I'm enjoying it very much.

I found it works best on a regular size tea cup or regular . The handles will reach 4 inches in width. I love mine and use it several times a day.

it has a nice heft to it, but more importantly, it fits under the Teavana PerfecTea tea maker perfectly. [ http://www.amazon.com/Teavana-PerfecTea-Tea-Maker-16oz/dp/B004X7DIHI ]

About 4 1/2" tall and just about as wide. I didn't realize it comes with its own infuser. I love it, perfect for tea for two.

It's about 5 1/2 inches in diameter and 2 1/2 inches high (not including the holder). It makes about 2 cups of tea.

I purchased the 3 1/4" clear glass balls last year. I am assuming they are the same this year. I measured it and the opening (once you remove the metal cap and stem) is 3/4" wide.

works well with average teas, not sure about spices. guess it depends on how finely they're ground. openings look to be 1-2mm wide. be careful with the pot, as it is extremely fragile. we've gone through 2 of them, and finally decided to go with an iron teapot,

approx, 4 -3/4" high x 3-1/2" wide Hope that sufficiently answers your question. Best tea I have ever had
