Delivery Information

Price Match

These are replacement classic lids designed specifically for the William Edwards Hive four-cup teapot (AND0415). Made from bone china, they carry the hand-painted Hive pattern — a design drawn from the flora and fauna of tea-growing regions — making them a natural fit for formal afternoon tea service or any setting where the full Hive collection is already in use.

In a busy front-of-house environment, lids are among the first pieces to get chipped or lost. Having a reliable stock of matched replacements means a broken lid doesn't take a teapot out of service or leave a mismatched piece on the table. Sold in packs of 12, this format suits operators who run regular afternoon tea covers or who need to maintain consistent presentation across a larger set of teapots.

Bone china is well suited to formal table settings — it presents well and handles the repeated hot-water cycles of a tea service without issue, though it does require careful handling during washing and storage to avoid chipping the decorated glaze.

If you're building or replenishing a full Hive service and want to confirm quantities or check compatibility with your existing teapot stock, the team is happy to assist.

Frequently asked questions

Which teapot does this lid fit?

This lid is designed specifically for the William Edwards Hive four-cup teapot with product code AND0415. It is not guaranteed to fit other teapots within the Hive range or from other collections, so it's worth confirming compatibility before ordering if you're unsure which teapot body you have.

Is bone china suitable for high-volume tea service?

Bone china performs well in formal tea service environments and presents very well on the table. It does require more careful handling than heavier stoneware alternatives — particularly during warewashing and storage — so operators running very high covers should factor that into their approach to staff training and racking.

How many lids should we hold as spares for a regular afternoon tea operation?

That depends on your weekly covers and how frequently breakages occur, but as a general guide, operators running afternoon tea daily tend to keep at least one full pack of 12 in reserve to avoid gaps in service. If you're unsure what level of stock makes sense for your volume, we're happy to advise.
