A teapot is a vessel designed specifically for brewing and serving tea:

Purpose: A teapot is used to steep tea leaves (or tea bags) in hot water, allowing the flavors and aromas to infuse before pouring the tea into cups.

Material: Commonly made of porcelain, ceramic, glass, stainless steel, or clay (like Yixing teapots from China). Each material affects the taste and heat retention.

Design features:

Body – the main chamber where hot water and tea leaves are combined.

Spout – shaped to pour tea smoothly without dripping.

Handle – insulated or positioned to hold without burning the hand.

Lid – usually fits snugly to keep heat in and sometimes has a small hole to release steam.

Capacity: Teapots come in many sizes, from small (1–2 cups, used in traditional tea ceremonies) to large family-sized ones.

Cultural variations:

In China and Japan, small clay or porcelain teapots are used for refined tea ceremonies.

In Britain, larger ceramic teapots are common for afternoon tea.

In Middle Eastern cultures, metal teapots are often used, sometimes paired with ornate serving.
