Do people use teapots in real life?

[DYIDIY]

I see them all the time on insta reels and in cafes obv but haven’t seen people using them in real life for ages. I’d love a nice one for myself but I think it migjt just be a waste of money and will never get used. Do you have one and use it? Any recommended ones in terms of practicality but also beauty? I quite like the clear glass ones or the black japanese looking style, not sure what they are called.

I have this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/London-Pottery-Farmhouse-Infuser-Ceramic/dp/B07MWDQ2XP?th=1 which is one litre.

I work in yorkshire a lot and my Dad is from there so it has to be Yorkshire loose tea.

Thank you for this picture. Somewhere on the top shelf of the pantry I have one of those 'one cup in a pot' ones and I'm going to look for it this very minute.

Yes, OP, I use a pot for the first brew of the morning, even though I might not do later on. Pretty teapots from an earlier era can sometimes be found in charity shops. Sorry if someone has already said that.

I have one of the tea pots for life. I’ve been using it for about five years. Tea is sooo much nicer. Especially when I use my whistling kettle instead. Making tea has become a lovely slow and gentle ritual.
