This clear teapot is made of lightweight, shatterproof copolyester resin (saturated polyester), so it will not break the way glass does. The body is transparent like glass, letting you see how well the tea has brewed, and the spout is shaped to pour cleanly without dripping.
The strainer clips onto the body rather than fitting inside, so it is compact and simple to attach. Its fine mesh resists clogging, and tea leaves can float and unfurl freely inside the pot.
