Bottom Line

Buyers love the design of this warmer, particularly when it is lit up with a glass teapot kept warm atop it.

Pros

Nice Egyptian-inspired design with a bronze finish. Lights well, and casts a warm light. Comes with one tealight candle. Solid base makes it very stable. Looks really nice with a glass teapot.

Cons

Some felt that the access window is too large and takes away from the design. Consider putting "feet" on it, as the bottom can easily scratch tables and other surfaces.

Bottom Line

A beautiful and inexpensive glass teapot warmer that works with most teapots under 4.5" in diameter.

Pros

Made of borosilicate glass. Works with most teapots with a base of up to 4.5" in diameter. Nice look, particularly with a glass teapot. Because it's glass, it is also a good light source. Warms well. Good price.

Cons

Not compatible with short, wide-based teapots. Some reports of tea candles not burning well within this warmer.

Bottom Line

The look may not be for everyone, but this warmer works well and is pretty indestructible.

Pros

Heavy cast iron construction. Solid and durable. Holes are well-placed in it so wind or drafts will not be a factor for the candle. Many found this to be an attractive option, and said it works well.

Cons

Some found this model to be a little on the big and bulky side.

Bottom Line

"Durable" and "glass" don't generally go together well, but they do when describing this warmer. The price is also very reasonable.

Pros

Solid glass, with heart-shaped design elements. Fits most teapots up to 4.5" in diameter. Dishwasher safe. Sturdy and heavy. A nice look at a decent price.

Cons

Some found this option to be too heavy, while others had it either arrive broken or develop cracks after a few uses.

Bottom Line

Works well for those who love all things rustic, although you may have to work on it a bit to get it stable.

Pros

Features a traditional cast iron design, and a nice rustic look. Very durable, and works well to keep tea hot. Easy to light, even with a pot on it. Easy assembly.

Cons

Some buyers found that the legs do not sit even, which results in a wobble effect. If you get one of these, try switching out the position of the legs.

Teapot warmers are simple yet elegant additions to any tea party. Their function: keep your tea warm, but they can add to the ambiance. While there are several kinds of warmers available, our favorite is the simple stand and tea candle. When shopping for one, go with a sturdy design that will sit stable on the tabletop, without scratching it. Materials range from glass to heavy cast iron, and will largely depend on your personal taste, although glass is easier to clean. The ventilation area for the candle should allow enough air in for proper burning, but cut down on drafts. Check that the stand will also fit your teapot base.
