does this teapot actually hold 12 oz of water?

I gave them as gifts but I'm pretty sure they do. My mom says she puts hers with water and two tea bags in the microwave so it would be enough for two cups of tea at a time

It actually holds more than 12 ounces of water. I have a small 12 ounce mug that I always use for my tea, and this teapot gives me one and a half mugs full.

Yes it will hold the 12 os but it yields only cup and a half tea but it's adorable and I love old Amsterdam products

Filled to the rim the pot holds 44 fl oz (1300 mL). This leaves no room for tea leaves/bags and water will spill out the top if you try to pour it.The maximum for actual use would be around 37 fl oz (1100 mL).

Hello, The pot we purchased was 18/10 and is very sturdy and has held up very well to use. We have enjoyed using it. However, it is not a pot for use in steeping a single cup. It takes about 24 ounces of water to cover the infuser well enough steep a pot of tea. If you are steeping tea for two or more it is great, but it would not work for a single cup. I hope this helps!

I'm not sure how many ounces it holds. But it is about the same size as a regular pitcher. Its the best ice tea maker I have ever purchased. It works really quick and easy

There is no country of origin marked on the pot or the box. The has a removable internal strainer and holds about 16 to 20 ounces of water and each of the two cups holds about 3 to 4 ounces of tea. So it is a small tea set for an intimate party? I have not used it, as it did not fill my needs. But it is a cute and decorative set. Hope this helps.

I just measured it to be sure but it holds 2 cups/16 oz. I love mine. I use it practically every day.

No, it is a nice size-14 oz. I think. I am really happy with mine. You can certainly get enough tea in to make a tasty cup. The strainer on mine is 2 3/4 by 1 1/2.

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.

Unfortunately, no. The set I got was inaccurate and had to be returned. I compared them to my current measuring cups, and found that these held more liquid. I then tested the 1/4 cup, 2/3 cup, and 1 cup measuring water by weight, and found that all of them held more water than indicated. (The 2/3 cup measure held an extra 0.5 oz of water)

I have the same one and it only holds 6oz of a liquid substance. I don't know what the 12 oz is for either

55 oz. sounds larger than the Standard "Brown Betty" tea pot we have. It seems to fit that one like a glove, larger I would doubt. Good luck!!!

It holds a pot that I use that I fill with 12 gallons of water. It handles that weight very well

The cup does hold 12 ounces, however, it is a terrible choice for HOT beverages. The handle is a heat sink and can't be safely held if the beverage is hot such as coffee.

I filled this mug to the brim and then poured it into a measuring cup. It was just shy of 16 oz. But since you wouldn't fill your mug to the brim except by accident it is more likely to be used to hold 12 oz. It is a perfect size mug for a large tea or coffee.

The tea is loose. I'm still trying different water tea ratio's and right now 1/3 cup tea to 60 ounces of water in my coffee maker works well. There's a lot of tea in each package so it will make several pots using the amounts that I do.

It is an eight cup capacity. If you fill it too full it will spit some water out. You could be comfortable expecting six full cups of tea so you don't empty the pot and it doesn't spatter. It's very heavy and very nice. I bought it because it is well constructed and has a flat bottom for my ceramic cook top.

Yes it does. This teapot is wonderful. I bought of them, used two as gifts. Enjoy.
