A pattern made purely from ceramic pigment has nothing in it to arc. \u003cstrong\u003eThat is the difference between a decorated pot you can reheat in and one you cannot\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it is worth checking on any patterned piece rather than assuming from the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Shape of Eight Inches\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasured across everything, spout to handle, this pot is 8 inches long and 5.1 wide, and it stands 5.3 inches tall. Those proportions describe a low pot rather than a tall one, and low is easier to live with: it fits under a standard cabinet shelf, it does not tip when a full pot is set down hard, and the center of gravity stays low while you pour. Empty it weighs about a pound and a half.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Green Runs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe geometric pattern wraps the body rather than sitting as a panel on one face, so the pot reads the same from whichever side it happens to be turned. On a piece that gets rotated every time somebody pours, that matters more than it sounds. A single-panel design has a right way round and a wrong one; this does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSize, Weight and Washing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ccaption\u003eTeapot dimensions and care, in inches\u003c\/caption\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eFigure\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.0 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.1 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.3 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 fl oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight empty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.4 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBody\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePorcelain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDecoration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen geometric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMicrowave and dishwasher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoth safe, per the maker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eServing, Reheating and Pattern\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many cups does 28 ounces pour?\u003c\/strong\u003e Between three and four, depending on whether you count a teacup at six ounces or a mug at eight.
