What size is the infuser? how big around and the length from top to bottom? Could it be used in a Princess teapot?

Infuser is perhaps 1-1.5" around & stops about 1/2" from the bottom of the teapot. Do not know what princess teapot is.

It has a beautiful stainless steel infuser that is an open filter container that sits on the lip of the tea pot. The tea pot cover can fit right into the infuser. Since it just sits on the tea pot it can be lifted out to fill or wash. Bought it for my wife's birthday since she drinks tea daily. Only thing to watch is the spout can over flow through the spout if filled too much. With the large size this shouldn't be a problem. RJF

We wanted to clear up some dimensional information - so thanks Elizabeth for asking. With the top on and locked the strainer is 2 inches in diameter at its widest point and just over 2 inches tall. It holds 5 teaspoons of tea, but we recommend using 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) of tea to get great flavor and allow the tea to fully expand. Hope that helps, Don (Schefs)

Ryan, ours did not come with a tea infuser. With the strainer on the spout, you don't need one for the blooming tea which is what we use it for. We haven't tried loose tea but it should work for that also. Amazon has one like we normally use for loose tea.

The infuser is made of glass, and it is not a good infuser if you are a frequent tea drinker (too slow to infuse, doesn't allow water to circulate into leaves well, and is hard to clean). However, if you purchase an appropriately sized metal tea infuser (see my review for details), this pot will work wonderfully to brew all teas (it retains heat VERY well!)

The infuser is roughly quarter cup. The whole pot makes about 2 cups of tea.

Filled to the brim with no infuser or tea in there I got 27 fl oz (800 mL) in there. I was even able to add another 1.5 ounces (to 850 mL) before anything came spilling out the spout. Filled to 27 fl oz or more, though, it would be difficult to pour without it spilling out out the top.With tea in there I will end up using this teapot for around 20 fl oz (600 mL) of tea.

The infuser is about 3 1/2" across; the lip is about 1/4" across. The height is around 3".

About 3 and 1/2 inches. It is a great infuser. It keeps small pieces of tea out of a cut or pot.

it's about 1.5 to 2 inches. roughly the size of a small golf ball. I usually fill it about 1/3 full and it will make 3 or 4 cups of tea

I didn't measure my infuser, but I am pretty sure it is less than 4 inches wide. You'd have to use a smaller mug, or just set the infuser in your large mug. As long as the infuser isn't completely submerged, I think it will still strain out the tea. I have never tried it with a large mug, though.

The bottom of the smaller teapot is 2.5". The bottom of the larger one is 3".

Miniature Size. The Teapot holds about 1 1/2 cups and the Teacups hold 3 Tablespoons at their fullest. It is the perfect size for preschool age children through age 6. My girls are 3 yrs and almost 2 yrs and they LOVE this.

Yes, it would fit over the infuser. I don't think it was designed for that purpose, but it could work!

I ditched the glass infuser long ago and use a stainless steel, classic 1 cup infuser from TEAVANA. No plugging of leaves and possibility of breaking. It's about 3 inches tall. I lucked out and bought a few on a clearance sale a couple of years ago. They don't have the same model anymore. The closest I can find on their site is the cool touch tea strainer. My older version is entirely made of stainless steel; no silicone top. Check it out in one of their stores and see if you think it will work for you.

Yes, it is! that's why I bought this tea pot -- the expensive one I bought at a store didn't sell replacements. Anyway - go to their website sunstea.com and search for "replacement infuser" and find the one for your tea pot

Good question, I purchased the G&H; Tea Services Paris Tea-Cup Fits 2-1/2-Inch to 4-Inch openings Use in teapots or teacups. this is the best tea infuser ever! However, the depth of two inches is perfect but the top of four inches protrudes out of the pot. I steep in a separate container then transfer. The teapot top opening is Two and one-quarter inches across. I hope this is helpful.
