Mrs. Potts is a teapot in Disney's 1991 animated Beauty and the Beast.
Mrs. Potts is the castle’s enchanted housekeeper. After the curse transforms the castle’s servants into household objects, she becomes a porcelain teapot while her son Chip becomes a teacup. She remains caring and practical throughout Belle’s stay in the castle.
Angela Lansbury provided Mrs. Potts’s speaking and singing voice. Her performance of the title song appears during the ballroom scene and became one of the film’s signature moments. The character’s gentle delivery helps frame the relationship between Belle and the Beast as a story about emotional change.
Mrs. Potts is sometimes confused with Chip because both characters are pieces of tea service. The distinction is simple: Mrs. Potts is the teapot, while Chip is the small teacup. Their matching designs visually establish their family relationship.
