What could be better than a pot of organic grown fair trade tea?  How about serving it in this non-stick ceramic teapot from CleanAirGardning.com?  The pot is glazed with a patented coating which makes it non-reactive and able to retain heat longer.  The tea will remain piping hot and the flavor will remain unaltered.

The Xtrema Teapot is 1.5 quarts, bacteria-resistant and easy to clean; and it is also fireproof–which means if you accidentally leave it on the stove, it will remain intact.  It also comes with a 50-year warranty!

Is it a UFO? Is it a urinal? Is it a lampshade?

No, it’s a ceramic bird feeder, for birds that demand only the finest ceramic bird feeders that money can buy. The ceramic bird feeder of note, in this instance, was created and manufactured by a firm called Perch! in Brooklyn, New York.

Vegan birds are cautioned, however, that this low-fire ceramic bird feeder with non-toxic glaze hangs suspended by a leather cord. It will come as cold comfort to birds with a conscience that this is an all-natural leather cord, tanned with vegetable-based dyes.

All this notwithstanding, these objects — measuring 7″ diameter x 5″ tall, hanging from a 36″ leather cord, holds about 2 cups of bird seed, dishwasher-friendly — were out of stock when last I looked.

Usually they are available from Branch at $84.00 a pop. You will be relieved to learn that if a vulture eats the leather cord, you can always order a new one from these suppliers.
