MacKenzie-Childs Courtly Check 4 Cup Teapot

The Courtly Check 4-Cup Teapot is a different kind of piece altogether. Where the enamel kettles live on the stovetop, this one belongs at the table — the classic short-and-stout teapot form, hand-painted in Courtly Check on enameled steel, with a lid that sits just right and a spout that pours cleanly. It's the sit-down tea experience: the pot you bring out when the occasion deserves more than a mug from a kettle.

Four cups serves two to four people at a proper afternoon tea or a slow weekend morning. Gold accent trim catches the light on a table the way good china does. Pairs naturally with the Courtly Check mugs, espresso cups, and saucers to build a complete table setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Courtly Check Teapot be used on the stovetop?
No — designed for tabletop use only. Heat water using a Courtly Check stovetop kettle, then pour into the teapot for serving.

How many cups does it hold?
Four standard teacups or two generous mugs. Right for an afternoon tea for two to four people.

Does it come with cups?
No — sold on its own. The Courtly Check mugs, espresso cups, and saucers are sold separately and coordinate beautifully with it.

Is the gold trim real gold?
The gold accent is a decorative metallic lustre finish applied during the painting process — not solid gold, but designed to hold its appearance with proper hand-wash care.
