The round shape, referred to as ‘Betty’,
infuses the perfect brew by allowing tea
leaves to swirl freely around the pot,
releasing the flavours.
The glaze is “Manganese Brown” which was
developed by the Marquis of Rockingham.
The shape and the name were eventually
shortened to the affectionate term ‘Brown
Betty’. This teapot has become an English
classic and is very much used as an everyday
item in modern day living.
Price & Kensington teapots have continued
to evolve since the Brown Betty days by
developing a range of fashion led colour
palettes for modern day living. Ranging
from soft neutral hues to vivid, bright tones
whilst maintaining the historical shape and
functionality of the ‘Betty’ teapot with a
non-drip spout.
The 2 cup and 6 cup sizes can now be used
with and without a fine mesh stainless steel
filter which allows even the finest loose leaf
tea to infuse perfectly.
“
Full of charm and character,
the Price & Kensington Teapot
collection encompasses
time-honoured style and versatility.

BROWN BETTY
– AN ENGLISH CLASSIC
The Brown Betty teapot was created in Stoke-on-Trent; the heart
of British potteries in the 1800’s. Locally quarried red clay was
used due to its affordability and durable qualities. The clay was also
well known for retaining heat, which was perfect for teapots.
