FEATURES OF A TEAPOT
These are all different parts you can find on a teapot, which is used for brewing and serving tea.
Individual words:

•SPOUT: The tube-like part sticking out from which you pour the brewed tea into a cup. It guides the liquid smoothly.
•STRAINER: A filter, often with small holes, usually inside the teapot or spout. It catches loose tea leaves so only clear tea pours into your cup.
