{"product_id":"the-teapot-time-machine-1","title":"The Teapot Time Machine","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginal Music by Adam James\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike any teapot ever conceived, the Teapot Time Machine is an object of ritual, imagination, and transport.  More than a vessel it is an invitation into the world of Thèria where mythology, storytelling, and craftmanship converge.  With a touch, a pour, a moment of pause, it asks you to rub the magic lamp and let your inner child take a wild ride through time, story, and sensation.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery element is intentional, symbolic, and deeply rooted in Thèria’s visual language. The orchid shaped lid crowns the piece, representing strength, resilience, love, and the enduring family and home.  The handle is formed from Thèria’s signature knuckles, set with Swarovski® crystals.  Both protective and ornamental, it evokes power while being softened by beauty. The spout emerges as the Rhino’s horn – bold, sculptural, and unmistakable representing strength, leadership, and the patriarchal force that protects the family line.  Below, the vessel is elevated upon Thèria’s signature peacock feet, where the matriarch stands as guardian - steady, watchful, and rooted. She anchors the form, holding the ritual with grace and authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AR experience of the Teapot Time Machine is one of the most intimate and imaginative journeys Thèria Haus has created. It begins in darkness, with a single genie’s lamp. The Creator of All rubs the lamp, and from it magic is born. A magic carpet emerges, carrying with it a passenger. A little boy, and with him, all of our inner children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe boy accepts the gift of the carpet ride and sets off to explore everything he can in a single day, metaphorically in a single lifetime. He lives life to its fullest measure: tasting every moment, wandering every corner of the world and the mind he has been given, and is fully present in his surroundings. His journey moves from morning to evening, from dusk to night, a full life lived in a single arc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the end of the journey, the Creator greets him and offers a high five, the highest compliment the creator can give. Not for sacrifice, not for devotion through loss, but for truly living the gift he was given. In that gesture is ultimate respect: honoring life by inhabiting it fully.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Teapot Time Machine is a metaphor for how we are meant to live. Each day is the greatest gift we will ever receive. We are meant to spend it living well, loving well, and practicing gratitude. And when the journey ends, may we all be able to close our eyes and truly see.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday’s archaeologists study the vessels left behind by the ancients. One day, we will be those ancients. What we create, what we use, what we leave behind, this is our message.\u003cbr\u003eLike the boy, each morning we wake to the quiet gift of a new day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything becomes what we choose to make of it. And in time, we look back - not at what we had, but at how we lived.  At night like in our passing, we return to stillness, back into our lamp, into rest, carrying with us the imprint of the day or life we shaped.  In this way, life itself becomes the artifact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhimsical yet commanding, playful yet reverent, the Teapot time machine blurs the boundary between functional object and storytelling artifact.  It is designed not just to serve tea, but to serve memory, imagination, and legacy…one pour at a time.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA special note from Lara:  \u003cbr\u003eWorking with Adam James on the original music behind the teapot was a dream come true.  I came to him with Adam, the song “I’m a little Teapot,” was written in 1939, and the copyright last until 2035.  While that was a classic I think we need more to define a teapot.  What would we want our teapot to convey to children in the modern age?  And with that birthed the Teapot time machine.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thèria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40967715127360,"sku":null,"price":2250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/6031\/6480\/files\/TeapotTimeMachine.jpg?v=1776104850","url":"https:\/\/theriahaus.com\/products\/the-teapot-time-machine-1","provider":"Thèria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
