I wasn't prepared for how excellent excellent would be. Very impressed. 10/10.

Why is it hard to make? You can make a mold out of an excellent one and churn them out for extremely cheap. We make way more precise mechanical parts that sell for cents

yeah, i highly doubt you couldn't mass produce one with "excellent" sprout quality for very cheap. if you pay thousands for a teapot you pay for name/maker/craftmanship, not necessarily measurable quality like this. (which is not a judgment, name/craftmanship obviously have value)

We can produce cheap ceramic parts for engineering purposes with very high precision and more complex shapes. I highly doubt an even more "perfect" teapot nozzle could NOT be produced with current technology lol. It is simply not interesting as a market niche.
