Lenox Courtyard Gold Ivory China Teapot

While Lenox gold-trimmed china is not microwave-safe, it can be cleaned in a dishwasher, preferably with a mild detergent and low heat setting. The clean pieces should be allowed to cool before handling, as metal trim softens with heat. Lenox backs its products with a lifetime warranty, and will replace any unsatisfactory item or provide the customer a full refund. In addition, under its lifetime breakage replacement program, Lenox will replace any broken piece that is in stock at 50 percent off the current suggested retail price. --Ann Bieri
