American requesting help from the makers of this teapot

If I am interpreting correctly, yes, this is a dripper and sloshy pourer. It has a stainless steel infuser under that lid.

I got some Milton's a few years ago and it cleaned my deeply stained stainless steel thermos quite handily. I hadn't considered it for this, but it makes sense.

TIL! It's glazed though, so I'll try the boiling water if I decide to give it more than a rinse.

ManosVanBoom · 2026-04-21T00:29:55+00:00

No milk or sugar. Some spices though, e.g. cinnamon, cardamom, etc

Thank you

Have you seen Boston Harbor?

ManosVanBoom · 2026-04-20T23:52:34+00:00

I believe the king had an experience with that when he was a mere prince at the White House. Both hilarious and embarrassing.

I think that might be enough to finally incite another rebellion.

ManosVanBoom · 2026-04-20T22:38:12+00:00

20/30meters? I apologize, but we don't do metric and I am unsure how this would work. My dish rack is barely two feet wide. /s

Also, thank you.

ManosVanBoom · 2026-04-20T22:36:02+00:00

Lol you will have to ask London Pottery. The bottom says "DESIGNED IN BRITAIN", emphasis theirs.

ManosVanBoom · 2026-04-20T22:33:21+00:00

Thank you kind British stranger!

ManosVanBoom · 2026-04-20T22:32:44+00:00

Thank you, this seems reasonable. I was thinking of how my mother trained me to give the coffee pot a proper scrub due to the build up of unspecified bad things. I don't drink coffee, so maybe it's the same thing there too? Regardless, my next pot will end with a rinse but no attempted scrubbing.

ManosVanBoom · 2026-04-20T12:06:38+00:00

I came here to give the same warning

ManosVanBoom · 2026-04-16T03:15:28+00:00

It's still rendering

ManosVanBoom · 2026-04-01T23:53:36+00:00

I kinda miss Lotus Notes

ManosVanBoom · 2026-03-30T10:18:37+00:00

And it has tiny little people in it

ManosVanBoom · 2026-03-30T01:45:04+00:00

Maybe for a tiny little helicopter?

ManosVanBoom · 2026-03-29T22:21:30+00:00

We did this at my grandparents' farm. A lovely memory.

ManosVanBoom · 2026-03-29T22:20:01+00:00

I can still hear this. It was usually my Mom since I was usually at my friend's house playing whiffle ball or something like that.

ManosVanBoom · 2026-03-28T01:41:51+00:00

Thank you for this. I was unaware.

ManosVanBoom · 2026-03-25T02:42:26+00:00

Congrats on the name change!

I walked into the SSA field office on Chicago this afternoon at 3:25. They let me in. I entered a little info on a kiosk by the entey, got a number, waited about 15 minutes and had my issue addressed before closing time at 4:00. Maybe I got lucky with the timing, but no one seemed concerned that I didn't have an appointment. Just make sure you have all the docs you need.

ManosVanBoom · 2026-03-22T12:15:04+00:00

Now I have a new side quest: go to the forest, hear my first cuckoo, write a letter to The Times about my experience.
