The Utah Teapot, also known simply as "The Teapot," is an iconic 3D computer graphics model that has become synonymous with the field of computer graphics and rendering. Created in 1975 by Martin Newell, a computer scientist at the University of Utah, the teapot was designed to test new rendering algorithms. Its simple yet distinctive shape, featuring a round body, a handle, and a spout, made it ideal for assessing the capabilities of early computer graphics systems. Over the decades, the Utah Teapot has become a symbol of the evolution and progress of computer graphics technology, and it continues to be used in educational settings and as a homage in various digital artworks and animations.

I made this purely for fun, for the pot just use supports, and for the lid I would print it on its side with support and adhesion for better resolution.
