Asparagus Figural Teapot

A delightfully literal teapot modeled as a bundle of asparagus, the ombré green-to-cream stalks gathered and cinched with a little molded bow, the tips forming the lid and a single spear becoming the spout. This trompe l'oeil vegetable form belongs to the majolica-style figural ware popular in the 1970s–80s. Pure cottagecore whimsy for a kitchen shelf, tablescape, or curiosity-cabinet grouping.
