# Time-Traveling Brewers The TARDIS Teapot Makes a Good Tea Time By Meghan Young | Published 2011-10-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tardis-teapot References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2011/10/20/tardis-teapot/) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/82548864/tardis-teapot-made-to-order-handmade) The TARDIS Teapot is made especially for fans of British traditions of all sorts. Although, considering the cult classic TV show 'Doctor Who,' a tradition may be a bit of a stretch. For those who simply enjoy a [nicely brewed cup of tea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuptone-teacup) in style, the TARDIS Teapot certainly achieves that. Handmade by [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) seller Rebekka Ferbrache (under the alias jadeflower), the TARDIS Teapot is modeled after the time machine and spacecraft that 'Doctor Who' revolves around. Cute and quaint, this teapot can hold three cups of liquid -- that's plenty for a mid-afternoon tea time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Time-traveling Homeware:** Creating homeware or kitchen products that are inspired by cult classics can be an interesting opportunity - **Handmade Etsy Crafts:** The trend of handmade products on Etsy can be tapped into to create unique and quirky products like the TARDIS Teapot - **British-inspired Homeware:** Designing homeware products that are inspired by British traditions can be an innovative move in the homeware industry ### Where This Applies - **Homeware:** The homeware industry can explore creating products inspired by cult classics or British traditions to offer something unique to their customers - **Kitchenware:** The kitchenware industry can explore creating products like the TARDIS Teapot that are both functional and inspired by popular culture - **E-commerce:** E-commerce platforms like Etsy can tap into the growing trend of handmade and unique products to offer customers a wide range of interesting products ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Automated Extraction Teapots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reedesigned-teapot.md) - [Playful Teapot Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teapot-design1.md) - [Surrealist-Inspired Tea Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-for-two-collection.md) - [High-End Ceramic Japanese Teapots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japanese-drinkware.md) - [Relaxing Countertop Tea Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-tea-maker.md) - [Cultural Tea-Inspired Health Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origin-health-pot.md) - [Fantastical Brewing Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cauldron-nyc.md) - [Customizable Connected Tea Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connected-tea-pot.md) - [Digital Tea Brewing Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bota-bottle.md)
