Good Questions: Who Makes This Glass Teapot?

12-9-glass-teapot.jpgDear Apartment Therapy, I saw this glass teapot first featured on the Martha Stewart Body + Soul magazine "Warm Grapefruit Tea" recipe page. Both in the magazine and online. It's beautiful and I've been searching up and down but cannot find the exact same teapot! Is it not specified in the magazine where to get it, and I even tried emailing the magazine people but did not get an answer. Please help me find this teapot :) Thank you!! Sincerely, Amy

Why we don't recognize this exact teapot, we would recommend looking at Bodum, Pearl River Mart, Sur la Table and Viva Terra. Also, there are lots of specialty tea shops in the city that might have a similar pot (Takashimaya comes to mind). Anyone else?

I saw one very much like it at the Kate Spade store in midtown Manhattan... but it isn't available on their website.

I don't know what teapot this is, but they have a bunch of similar ones at Cost Plus World Market.

Thin glass teapots like this were manufactured, starting in the 1930s, by a German company named Jenaer Glas. Since then a lot of similar teapots have hit the market and the legacy lives on. Reproductions of the original design, often called the "Museum Teapot" are everywhere, but I haven't seen one exactly like this one (with the bell shape and the long spout). You might try teavana. They have a few glass options.

Try searching for "glass teapot" on ebay. I did and came up with a decent-sized bunch of choices.

Sontu has a line that is quite similar (I actually like the Sontu ones better)

Teapot: http://www.teaforte.com/store/tea-accessories/teapots/sontu-teapot/

Teacup and Saucer: http://www.teaforte.com/store/tea-accessories/glass/sontu-tea-cup--saucer/

They used to sell them at Paper Source in Chicago, though I'm not certain if they still do. They're lovely, though.

I haven't seen this one exactly, but you might have luck finding one you like at Teaposy.com. They have great products and tons of flowering teas.
