Does the teapot really not pour? In the picture there is a hole in the spout, is this just decorative?

I use my set for photo shoots. I've put water in mine. Just have to watch the top cause that comes off when you pour. Its really cute if u teach them to hold the tip & pour just like a real one...

I gave it to my granddaughter if it didn't work she would have called me crying. I believe it works just fine.

It pours. I just opened the set to see! Put water in it and it poured out through spout

Hi Jen:I wish I could help you. I buy a lot of tea sets as gifts for little girls and I don't know for certain if this one pours. I do know it's very cute! Happy holidays. Tia

yes,but i have been delighted with this product. i have tea on a daily bases and it still looks and performs like new. but you will have to use a pot holder to open the spout to pour.

The top has a handle and it unscrews so you have the ability to use this with the tea basket in or not. With the top screwed in place you just leave open a bit if you wish to pour with top still inserted or you can take the top out completely and pour away. Hope this helps!

No, just fill it will hot water from a kettle and add tea to steep. Pretty teapot to serve from.

This is a teapot for holding tea, not for boiling water. You'll still need a kettle for that.The handle doesn't get hot when using it for serving.

No. And - on a different matter - as I stated in my review, best to get the Dripless Teapot Gadget (not currently available on Amazon but if you Google it, you'll find it) because the teapot does drip significantly when it's full and you make the first pour (and sometimes even the second).

Sorry-it leaked at the connection point between the spout and pot after several uses...would try another tea kettle! Good Question!

you add hot/boiling water to this teapot. It just acts as a vessel for brewing the tea and should not be used to heat water in.

Not when it is closed and not when it is sitting upright or when pouring, Overall, I'm really pleased with this product. The only time it drips down the front is when I'm filling it from the handle side. If you fill it from the spout side there is no drip.

It sounds like it may have broken off. When I received my teapot it was already attached. You shouldn't have to attach anything.

No it doesn't. It's a solid blown piece. I've had them for several months, and they are holding up very well, easy to clean, and just perfect for tea.

It just pours but if the air hole gets clogged it won't allow it to pour as evenly. The only other issue I had with the spout was the little O ring that is on the top behind the spout doesn't stay in place.It has to be adjusted occasionally or it leaks. I love the idea of a pour spout for a mason jar though.

Thanks. I had it once but had to return due to a non-working clock. Also the glass pot was not like the picture with a protective plastic rim. The manufaturer said they had replaced it with an all glass that worked better for pouring. Is yours all glass?

It's a wooden handle so it doesn't really get super hot, but there is boiling water just below it and metal at either end, so just as a matter of caution I use the mitt. That way I also don't worry about the steam coming out of the spout when I pour into the teapot.

When I use a tea cozy, it does get hot. My biggest problem is that the pot drips when pouring.

The strainer doesn't touch the bottom of the pot, which is the way it's supposed to be. It gets pretty close to the bottom to allow the loose tea to soak to a perfect cup of tea. I use my teapot every day and I love it!

There is a colander-like formation at the throat between the pot & the spout. Even so, as does P. Griset, I use anaftermarket strainer. I like to remove the tea leaves from the pot at the proper time. Later, I re-use them.
