Spanish....	Vasijas cubiertas para preparar y servir té, generalmente con un pico, el cual es a menudo largo y graciosamente curvado y, en el lado opuesto de la vasija, un asa y algunas veces pequeños pies. Se diferencia de "jarra de té", que generalmente tiene un pico corto vertedor, un asa de barra y una base ancha y plana, y se usa para hervir el agua con la cual el té se prepara.
