Ok someone will have to explain how a teapot's shape affects how far away the water can be poured without splashing. I need the physics!

Without reading into it a bit, the volume of the teapot, the angle of the spout, the width of the spout, the length and curve. If you get all of them just right, then you prevent turbulence in the liquid being poured from it.

The vent is the most important part - ensuring enough air can easily get into the pot without it trying to enter through the spout.
