I actually have that teapot and I use it several times a week.

Beautiful teapot dude!

Thanks! In computer graphics it's referred to as the "Utah teapot" because the 3D model was created at the University of Utah. But it was originally a Melitta brand teapot. It is still manufactured by German company Friesland, which I bought it from.

Unfortunately it appears they recently had a fire and their webshop is temporarily closed, but I think you can also get it off of Amazon.

I read once that the original model didn't have a bottom surface? Idk but I suspect that's why it's referred to as useless in the meme.

I mean, it also didn't physically exist, and was therefore tricky to use for your tea.

Absolutely dope. How does it pour?

I'm more of a computer-science geek than a tea geek, so all I can say is that it pours without spilling. You won't get a laminar flow out of it or anything like that.
