As you can see, this is a teapot that steeps the tea in style—but you must heat up the water elsewhere. While the years-in-development object isn't available just yet, it's gone beyond the design concept stage, and it looks like at least there's a working prototype now. Roth says it'll soon be available in a limited run of 300. Tea connoisseurs, what do you think? [Sorapot]

There's function behind that form, too, where the arched handle is supposed to act as a heat sink to keep the tea from oversteeping. All this stainless steel and glass and design overload isn't quite available yet, but when/if it is, we tea drinkers at the Giz are even willing to forsake our gorgeous Michael Graves teapot from Target for one of these.

UPDATE: For a $50 deposit, the Sorapot Teapot is now available for pre-order on designer Joey Roth's website.
