Just a little Freudian slip? The Sorapot teapot is a great example of out of the box thinking. I love it when an ordinary thing like a teapot is taken and redesigned completely like [Joey Roth](http://www.joeyroth.com)has done here with a great result. It may not be the most practical kettle, but it sure looks nice. This teapot is going to be the certain of attention at any tea party. The only problem is that you can't buy it. Not yet at least. But don't despair 'cause you can become friends with it.
