Steampunk Teapot
Tea cups and teapots
How cool is this?
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?
More novelty tea ware
There’s plenty more where this came from. Check out these other posts on brilliant teapots, cups and more.

I don’t think so Anton. At the moment it just seems to be a concept. Pretty cool concept though!

As a big fan of both tea and steampunk, I was hoping this was real and available for sale…
Someday….

Great concept. Looks like it would have a place in a teaware exhibit.
