I don’t wish to be disparaging towards teapots, but let’s be honest here, they are not exactly the most interesting items are they? Or, let’s put it another way, I really cannot recall the last time I found myself exclaiming ‘Nice teapot!’
The Sorapot Teapot from designer Joey Roth is the sort of teapot that could stop you in your tracks, however – it really is that beautiful.
According to the designer:
“The arch’s natural flexibility allows it to act as a clamp that creates a watertight seal at either end of the central glass tube. This clamping action is controlled by the ball strung on the wire that runs under the tube. When the ball is in the upper position it sits in a circular cut in the arch and holds the wire tight, clamping the arch around the tube. When the ball moves down its distance to the front of the arch is decreased just enough to release the tension on the wire, allowing the tube to be removed for cleaning.”
