Greetings,
I have a horribly stupid request, and found this place googling. I'm looking for a particular teapot.
If you watch "The Office," there's an episode where Jim gives Pam a teapot for Christmas, and I'm trying to find the exact teapot. After watching eBay for about a month, I'm still at square one ... however amazed at the diversity of teapot designs and the art of it. It's actually pretty cool. But I digress.
Here are a couple of images of the pot in question.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me! There's a lot that are close on amazon, but .... you know.... close isn't what I'm after.
Thanks!

It's really hard to tell if the foot is actually different, but the general shape of the pot looks like the Chatsford-styled pots. There's a bunch in lots of different colors
here.

Hrmm... I'll poke around at that place and see what i can find.
The two things that are sticking out for me are the handle curves way down and attaches more toward the base of the teapot, and it looks like it has shrinkwrap on it tells me it's not something antique (although they could easily do that.... I'm grasping here
)...
Thanks for the link, will poke around.

What I think you're thinking is shrinkwrap looks more like some tape to hold the lid down. It's just taped down in an X pattern over the top.

Hey, thanks to whoever posted this (i don't remember screen names from chat yesterday
):

Might have to go the custom route... I spent another 2-3 hours looking yesterday, I wonder if it was one of those "go down to walmart and get a green teapot" 3 years ago type of thing... in which case, I'm screwed.
Also, I tried to create an account over there but it wouldn't let me.. something about "bots" and kicked me out, so please send my thanks to those folks.
Thanks all, the search continues.....

also, what size would you say that pot is? how many cup, judging visually... I have no frame of reference

When looking at tea houses in Mississippi just now on TeaMap, I noticed one of the shops has a pic of some teapots they carry, and some of them looked like they could be what you're looking for.
But the image resolution wasn't good enough to say for sure.
