#21 - La cosa nella Musica

   The teapot in Music

When  looking for   teapots in the musical world, I found that they were mainly the subject of popular nursery rhymes  and traditional poems for children  dating back to the nineteenth century. I have chosen  '' I am little teapot'' and '' Polly put the kettle on''

                                    

                                    '' I'm a little teapot''

''Polly put the kettle on''

#29 - I numeri della cosa

 The numbers of the teapot

Most of the numbers associated to teapots I found in the web are lot numbers which are an identification assigned to manufactured single pieces. For example, these two Chinese Yixing teapots have each a lot number respectively 1078 and 1434.

In addition to the previous examples ''Utah teapot''  made by the computer designer Martin Newell

is associated with a catalogue number  X 398.84.

The Igenix  kettle  has a capacity of 3.5 litres , therefore 3.5 could also be a teapot number.

The fourth  example is the  certificate of authenticity  which is included with a pot and contains an authenticity number such as 5090.
