Name: 27 oz Porcelain Teapot with Stainless-Steel Infuser
Brand: Sweese

Food & Wine measured a 26°F drop over 20 minutes—real retention data, not a claim. The infuser clips over the handle so it stays put mid-pour, reducing splash risk on tilt.

WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

This earns its price through measurable rather than asserted performance: Food & Wine measured a 26°F fall over 20 minutes, and the locking/handle-extending infuser supports a safer, leaf-free pour. It is far more functional than generic gift-set porcelain.

Traditional rounded porcelain but not fussy. The infuser’s piece that reaches over the handle lets you hold it down while pouring—an unusually thoughtful detail for a $30 pot.
