  Beautiful teapot dude!

    Thanks! In computer graphics it’s referred to as the “Utah teapot” because the 3D model was created at the University of Utah. But it was really a Melitta brand teapot. It is still manufactured by German company Friesland, which I bought it from. https://friesland-porzellan.de/utah-teekanne Unfortunately it appears they recently had a fire and the store is temporarily closed, but I think you can also get it off of Amazon.

      I read once that the original model didn’t have a bottom surface? Idk but I suspect that’s why it’s referred to as useless in the meme.

        I mean, it also didn’t physically exist, and was therefore tricky to use for your tea.

  Absolutely dope. How does it pour?

    I’m more of a computer-science geek than a tea geek, so all I can say is that it pours without spilling. You won’t get a laminar flow out of it or anything like that.

      That works. It’s pretty easy to find a teapot that spills all over the place.
