{"product_id":"travel-teapot-set-two-cups-cat-lover","title":"Travel Teapot Set \u0026 Two Cups - Cat Lover","description":"\u003cp\u003eA ceramic teapot and two matching cups, cream-glazed with a watercolour cat portrait wreathed in soft florals, packed in a zippered canvas carry case with a dark wooden serving tray. Made for people who want their tea ritual to travel, whether to a friend's house, a park, or simply from room to room, without leaving the ceremony behind.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll notice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe cat gazes out from each piece, eyes bright, fur loose and sketchy in amber and grey, surrounded by pink, blue and yellow blooms that bleed softly into the glaze.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe teapot sits low and rounded, with a black domed lid and a brass-tone overhead handle that arches high enough to clear your knuckles when you pour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe two cups are handleless, meant to be held in both hands, warm against the palms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverything nests into the padded case, which zips shut and carries like a small weekend bag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe ritual it holds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou steep loose tea or a bag in the pot, let it sit while the water darkens, then pour through the spout into the two cups. The handleless cups belong to a Chinese tea tradition in which the vessel is held close, the warmth felt, the tea sipped slowly rather than gulped. The overhead handle on the pot keeps your hand clear of the heat and makes the pour steady. It turns tea into a shared pause, whether at a kitchen table or a folding chair outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCeramic with a soft glaze\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pot and cups are glazed ceramic, smooth and cool to the touch when empty, warm once filled. The cream ground shows slight variation where the glaze pools, and the watercolour cat and flowers are printed under the glaze so they will not scratch or fade with washing. The brass-tone handle is metal, lightweight and fixed with a simple loop hinge. The tray is dark-stained wood, unvarnished.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne teapot with lid and overhead handle, two cups, one wooden tray, and a slate-blue canvas carry case with a top handle and zip closure. The case is lightly padded inside to protect the ceramic during travel. The set is made in China and finished to a giftable standard.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare and use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse the pot and cups with warm water after each use; a soft brush clears any leaf residue from the spout. The glaze is durable, but check for any care label inside the case before putting the pieces in a dishwasher. The tray may be wiped clean. Store the set in its case between outings to keep it from chipping.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWho it suits and when\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt makes a warm gift for someone who loves cats, travels often, or simply wants their tea things to feel less like crockery and more like a small, portable ceremony. The feline motif is gentle rather than kitsch, so it suits a quiet teatime as easily as a playful one. It is also practical for small flats where cupboard space is tight and a set that packs away is welcome.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the teapot have a built-in strainer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe photos do not show an internal infuser basket, so loose tea may require a separate strainer or tea bag. The spout itself may have a small mesh filter inside, but that is not visible here.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much tea does the pot hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe capacity is not specified, but the rounded, low-profile shape suggests a modest single-serving or two-cup volume, typical of travel sets designed for portability rather than large gatherings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the set dishwasher and microwave safe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe glaze and metal handle suggest hand-washing is safer, and the overhead handle should not go in a microwave. Check any care label included with the set for confirmed guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHAMTAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53927988429114,"sku":"TeaP-38","price":38.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/8307\/0266\/files\/travel-teapot-set-two-cups-cat-lover-cover.png?v=1787199125","url":"https:\/\/shamtam.com\/products\/travel-teapot-set-two-cups-cat-lover","provider":"SHAMTAM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
