Show us some weird, wonderful, and fancy teapots...

That's gotta be steel, right? I mean, it could be silver...I see a tiny screw and no sign of any welds, but I can't remember ever seeing a hinge made of silver.

But anyway, I like the overall design. I prefer a long spout, though.

I researched it..........

"This rare teapot may look incredibly contemporary but it dates from around 1879. It was designed by Dr Christopher Dresser, a Glasgow-born botanist who also happened to be one of the leading designers of the Aesthetic movement. Dresser’s designs are noted for their distinctly modern feel and this teapot is an excellent example of his scientific approach to design, harmonising function and form."
