Project 006: Bad Pot

  • Posted by: GOOD
  • on September 24, 2007 at 7:00 pm

Barbara of Framingham sent us this poorly designed teapot.

The top falls off when it’s pouring, the shape doesn’t allow for water to circulate around the tea leaves well, and it’s awkward to hold.

It’s the lap dog of kitchenware: selected for appearance rather than functionality.

Full-size version here.
