Out of stock again, it would seem

It’s still in stock in many department stores here in Germany. Didn’t even know they had stock issues for online sales.

… but yeah, I remember thinking I was having a stroke when I first saw a row of various sized Utah teapots at a Galeria Kaufhof :).

EDIT: a bunch of other retailers have it: https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/3666195...

For those of us that are out of the loop and have no idea what the Utah teapot is, is this related to this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_teapot

From the Wiki:

> The real teapot is 33% taller (ratio 4:3)

So is this the original tea pot or the computer model?

This appears to be the original teapot, unsquished. Perhaps you could call it the proto-Utah teapot.

So how do you order one in the United States? Preferably from Utah?
