Conjoined twins. :lol:
***This organic blend is earthy & spicy, with a fragrant aroma & smooth flavor to captivate the senses. Naturally sweetened in the Kentucky sunshine & infused with natural energy. Equally delicious when served piping hot or crisply chilled.***

That teapot was made in Cernobil, after the accident, it is radioactive and mutant, it is a biohazard.

Definitely reminded me of ol' Blinky - even before I read Oni's response :)

If it's split in the middle, you could brew two kinds of tea in it! :D

It's for serving couples who are either equally thirty or equally impatient.

Here's an older thread with another frankenpot, complete with pics of Blinky.

If it's like those expresso machines that are designed so you can brew 2 cups at a time, I have never managed (in owning about 5 different machines) to get both cups filled equally.

Have you tried pouring into 2 cups ? Is the flow from each spout equal ?

Oni, you made me laugh out loud!! :lol:
I think you got it right...it definitely looks like it is looking me!
Lots of odd things can happen in a normal kiln, but a "nuclear kiln"...who knows what might come out of there!!

This pot must be for using when you want a really fast pour!

Too funny,

Maybe it is a honeymoon pot. I know a lot of pots were for personal use and people drank straight out of them. Maybe it is a kissing pot.

It was made by a cross-eyed potter.

I have never seen a pot with two spouts beside eachother but I have two spouts one on top of another. Probably made for for the same reason. Logically, they are probably for a quick pour.

Some of these pots have elaborate internal mechanisms for making two teas, or serving two teas at different strengths, etc.... they get complicated
