Cool and beautiful teapot

The Steampunk Teapot is the work of Michael Morarity. It’s inspired by steampunk, which according to that great arbiter of all human argument, Wikipedia, is a sub-genre of the “fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s”.

So there you have it: Today’s lesson in culture.

The teapot comes with a temperature gauge, a spout cover and a percolation window. Funky. Perhaps another potential gift idea for the tea lover in your life?
