If you are undecided about which teapot model to choose, here is a guide that will help you narrow down your decision according to various criteria such as budget, number of guests, or occasion.
For special occasions like parties, weddings, Ramadan or when you have guests, a steel enameled copper model will add a touch of elegance to your table.
