Comments about Teavana Mirabelle Glass Teapot:

We found a big crack in the first one we bought and it was quickly replaced (Thank you). But the second time we used the replacement, we noticed the new one had developed a crack near the bottom of the handle - and the lid popped off and cracked.

I absolutely loved this teapot when I first got it. I was going to go with a less expensive ceramic model, but changed my mind in the store because the Mirabelle is so very pretty. When I got it home, I noticed how delicate it seemed, but I was assured by the clerk that it was sturdier than it looked. I've used it just about every day for 2-3 weeks with no problems. Then, today, the bottom of the outside wall shattered and fell off while my tea was steeping with a loud "SMASH!" I ran into the kitchen to see what happened, and I saw that the piece that broke off was a near-perfect circle, cracked in half.

I've never banged, abused, or even been rough with the thing. The only thing that I can think of is that the glass is just not thick enough to handle frequent heating and cooling, or that it can't stand up to higher temperatures. I think the water may have been too hot this last time, but boiling water should be okay to put in a teapot, right?. It could be a combination of those, but either way, I'm NOT HAPPY!

This teapot may work for someone who doesn't drink a lot of tea or for someone who just wants something lovely decorate their kitchen with, but I need a teapot that works. The Mirabelle just doesn't deliver. Another thing that I don't like about it is the fact that the strainer is in the spout. If you don't use all of the tea at once, the leaves sit in the water for too long and ruins the tea. A solution to that would be to get a carafe, but why have a glass teapot if I keep the tea inside it? I'd much rather have one with a removable infuser.

I'm going to try to get my money back, and though I love the look of the Mirabelle so much, I'll use it to buy a different teapot from Teavana.

I absolutely loved this pot when I bought it. It made the tea look beautiful suspended in the glass. However, three months after buying it shattered about 10 minutes after pouring the hot water inside. I guess the glass isn't as sturdy as I thought it was. From now on i'm not buying any more of the double-walled glass items. I thought the Borosilicate glass would be stronger!

I just bought this product, and my daughter was pouring the tea out, the lid fell off and broke! I want to know if there is any way that i can just purchase a lid instead of purchasing a whole new teapot?????

Most of the time, you might find a small air-hole(blown hole) on the bottom of a double wall glass cup or a pot. Normal circumtances, no dish washer, simply rinse with hot water. But if you need to do so every now and then, there will be some water trapped inside the hole between the two walls. You may add very hot water into the pot a few times over the kitchen sink till all the water comes out, and then let dried. I hope this will help.
Although it is made of Borosilicate glass, but it is a double wall glass pot thus not safe to use on the stove.
Mouth blown glass, an art hard to master, each piece hard to make to perfection.Enjoy it as something precious and special.

This is a darling pot but mine had a flaw in the bottom of it and the flaw allowed water to enter between the sheets of blown glass. It is now showing condensation and it is not so cute anymore.

I love the look of this teapot the best, but I was wondering...

Can this teapot also be used as a kettle?

Does it have a diffuser?

Comments about Teavana Mirabelle Glass Teapot:

I spent a lot of time in Teavana debating between this teapot and another glass one that was a bit cheaper. This one had caught my eye online, but the price difference and built-in diffuser in the other model made me reconsider. I bought the other model, and one hour later I returned to the store and exchanged it for the mirabelle. I knew I'd regret not getting the model I really wanted just to save a little money. It's such a beautiful, elegant teapot that it's really a pleasure to use, and I love that it's handblown glass. I also have the Sur La Mer pot, which I use for individual tea--I use the Mirabelle when I'm sharing tea with my husband or guests. Guests always complement on how beautiful the teapots are. The wide spout makes it a breeze to clean and it's perfect for blooming teas. Any tea lover will love this teapot. I have a few friends who will be getting one as wedding shower gifts. Highly recommended.
