teapotful

One pot's capacity

A teapotful is the amount that a teapot can hold, used as an informal unit of measurement when making or serving tea.

Like other container-based measurements such as cupful or handful, the actual quantity varies depending on the size of the teapot in question.

We went through three teapotfuls during the afternoon visit.
