Unfortunately the cover doesn’t insulate at all. It gets as hot as the ceramic pot. Wish I could return it.

It is tge best teapot I have ever owned and I am British living in America. It keeps the tea very hot and makes excellent tea

This is a stunning tea kettle — there’s no debate about that. Simply looking at it and pouring from it truly lifts the soul. The only drawback is that it doesn’t retain heat for very long, which is my one disappointment with an otherwise beautiful kettle.

Stylish teapot with an insulated cover that keeps the tea warm.

This is a high end boutique brand from France and they’ve been making this teapot for many many years. It’s beautiful and functional.
