This is “Tea Machine I” by Joshua Foy, and it’s part of the most awesome teapot exhibit I’ve seen yet: Da Yu Xiao Hu 3: Third International Small Teapot Competition. It’s funny; I’ve gotten in the habit of just looking for unusual teapots, but a lot of these qualify as art rather than just “weird teapots”. Of course, there are plenty of those too.

With, please.
