Salam — Guy Degrenne

The Salam collection by Guy Degrenne is an emblematic line of porcelain and steel teapots created in 1953. Its steel bell lined with insulating felt keeps the tea at the right temperature: an ingenious design recognisable among all, which has become a reference for tea lovers.

The origin of the Salam teapot

Created in 1953, Salam has established itself as an emblem of the tea world thanks to a simple and effective principle: a porcelain teapot topped with a stainless steel bell lined with insulating felt. The felt limits heat loss, the removable infuser extracts the aromas and stops the infusion when the leaves are removed. A mechanism designed for amateurs as well as table service.

• Porcelain body, stainless steel bell
• Insulating felt integrated into the bell to maintain temperature
• Removable infuser included, several capacities from 2 to 8 cups

Choosing within the Salam collection

Why is the Salam teapot well-known?

It is a historical signature of Guy Degrenne since 1953. Its originality lies in the steel bell lined with felt, which thermally insulates the teapot: tea stays at the right temperature much longer than with a classic teapot, without any additional accessory.

Are there several colours in the Salam collection?

Yes. The Salam teapot is available in white (the most popular) and black versions. The porcelain body determines the dominant colour, while the brushed steel bell remains constant. Available capacities range from 45 cl (2 cups) to 130 cl (8 cups).

Which capacity should I choose?

For individual use, the 45 cl (2 cups) is sufficient. The 70 cl (4 cups) suits a duo or two successive servings. The 100 cl (6 cups) is the versatile size for a family. The 130 cl (8 cups) is intended for collective service, larger tables or receptions.

How do I care for a Salam teapot?

The porcelain body is washed conventionally. The stainless steel bell requires some care: the integrated felt should not be soaked. Wipe the bell after use and let it air dry. The removable infuser is rinsed after each use to prevent tannin build-up.
