That’s quite interesting indeed!
I was wondering if it’s possible to buy a teapot similar to the original real life one still.
According to someone on Reddit, it’s still being sold

The website where it is being sold:

Wikipedia also says:
> The original teapot the Utah teapot was based on is still available from Friesland Porzellan, once part of the German Melitta group. Originally it was given the rather plain name Haushaltsteekanne ('household teapot'); the company only found out about their product's reputation in 2017, whereupon they officially renamed it "Utah Teapot". It is available in three different sizes and various colors; the one Martin Newell had used is the white "1,4L Utah Teapot".
