Some reviewers say this teapot has a smaller-than-expected capacity; have any buyers measured its exact capacity? ...Also, does the spout drip, when pouring? Thank you.

When I fill it up to the bottom of the spout as shown in the picture, it is 6 cups. The spout does not drip when pouring.

The reason the capacity is smaller than expected is that, with the infuser is in place, the liquid tends to boil over. So it is best not to fill it too full and let it simmer without boiling over. After removing the infuser, the pouring is quite easy, without dripping.

We use ours for sweet tea so usually don't shake it...but I just tried it for you and when I didnt hold the lid it dripped 4 to 5 drops so not too bad and 2 when I held the lid it dripped a couple drops so either way it seems to be sturdy. One thing I do know is that the pour spout does come detached from the lid to clean so I could see the potential for disaster as the pitcher gets older and spout becomes a little less secure

Sorry, I don't know, but it has performed xceedingly well, whereas many teapots drip from the spout after pouring this one is designed not too.I would google for the manufacturer website and ask them about its place of origin.

Claudia_ I can only respond of course about my own personal use of the teapot. I use several times a week and have had no problems at all. The pot might eventually crack years from now due to use . No one could predict tat. Only can say that it is after all a teapot and was designed to be used. I do that and again, quite frequently and without problems. Enjoy your teapot. It's so lovely. I'm sure you will enjoy as much as I do mine. Good luck.

Yes, I would recommend you use a cup that can hold at least 9oz of fluid and at least 3 1/2 inches wide at the top of the cup. This will allow you to rest the Teavana Perfect Tea device on the cup to drip fully into your cup without spilling out. You'll love having this device and it travels well, so take it with you where ever you may go!

Yes, the lid still fits. This is a pretty pot, but the spout drips badly. Thought you'd want to know.

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.

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.

Love the teapot and it is approximately 36 oz capacity. There is a little more room but 36 oz is my comfort level.

The shape of the pot is traditional and might be perceived as inefficient for use since you can't pour out all of the liquid without putting a finger on the lid to keep it from falling into your cup. So, I'm not sure if the short spout is the problem, but it definitely requires two hands to pour. Some might think that is part of the charm of the pot though. I rather like it. It does force you to focus on your actions and be mindful as you pour.

This teapot holds about 4 1/2 cups. Might hold more if filled totally to the top. I just use it for decoration. It is bigger than I thought and very cute!

No, my kettle didn't leak. I just wanted a tea kettle with more precise settings than this one had. It heated fast and I would have been satisfied if the settings had been, first of all, more accurate, and also if there had been more precise settings. But no leaking problem at all.

You can put as little or as much water that you want. I just adjust the amount of tea I use. I usually make at least half a pot for the basket to reach the water.

No it doesn't come in a smaller size other than the miniature set. Although sometimes you may be able to find a smaller teapot, I believe it is a 4 cup teapot, but these are rare. Not sure if Royal Albert even make them anymore. Check out HSN or SHOPNBC, Michael Doulton is often on these channels selling his wares, and sometimes reproduces old favourites and has new pieces at reasonable prices.

I'm repeating this answer everywhere I see reference to questions regarding induction so may get repetitious for some. I have a GE Profile Induction Range and this tea kettle "does" work on an induction range. The bottom of the teapot is almost 9" across. There is a copper disc in the center, 2.5" all the way across, that is slightly recessed (and obviously would not touch the glass of an induction range top). Around that disc is a 2-1/4" across band of stainless (which is the only portion of this teapot bottom that touches the range top). Around that is an outer band, width 1" that is recessed 1/4" (and does not touch the range top). So, you have from center to outer edge, a copper disc (slightly recessed), a stainless band (that touches the range top), and then an outer recessed band (that does not touch the range top). The center disc is measured not from center point but in it's entirety. All combined these 3 components make up the almost 9" of surface on the bottom of the teapot. Rest assured the amount of stainless that touches the cook top is plenty sufficient for heating and it works perfectly. I'm very happy with the purchase.

yes, ours was a tight fit too, we actually had to return that teapot as it had a bad switch. But we did like it. regards,
