There are some things in life that are in no means practical, but they make you feel better nonetheless.  This teapot falls exactly into that category, but that is part of the reason why we love it.  The other reason is that it looks so fabulous sitting on a table alongside all of the other contraptions we’ve collected.  True, we could just use our traditional teapot, but how fun would that be?  This teapot is all glass, mesh, stainless steel and sex appeal.  But its not all beauty and no function: this teapot actually boasts superior tea preparation.  How so? An oversized strainer, which allows the tea leaves to fully develop their flavor.  For those of you that don’t know, the looser tea leaves tend to be when brewing, the stronger the taste.  And the cute little tea light at the bottom?  It keeps your drink nice and toasty, so you can enjoy the display of your taste even longer.   Oh, and you can drink your tea for as long as you’d please as well.  As if that’s why you’re using it.  Available at the MoMa store.
