ABSTRACT:
A tea pot comprises a receptacle having a pouring device and a handle on an opposite side. A water filling aperture at the receptacle top defines a recessed circumferential lip. A lid closes said aperture. A perforated cylindrical filter has a cross sectional shape substantially matching the aperture. The filter is insertable into the pot through the aperture. A circumferential flange is located at the upper part of the filter and adapted to sit on the lip when the filter is inserted into the receptacle. An engagement means permits the filter to be removably retained in the receptacle and comprises a sprung detent located at the upper part of the container which is urged away from the container for engageing the lip; retaining the filter in the pot. The detent has a recess to engage both above and below the lip.
