How ‘Alice in Wonderland’ inspired an earthenware teapot that blushes when the tea is ready.

Industrial design for Royal Boch (2000)

Early concept sketches.

The oversized handle ensures a comfortable, effortless grip, while the spout is elegantly designed to prevent drips and splashes.

Inspired by the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland, the generous proportions and colour-changing lid knob transform this teapot into a statement piece that brings a touch of magic to every tea ritual.

The lid knob is made out of polypropylene, charged with 2 pigments amongst which, one is thermochromic.

The material protects the fingers from heat.

The pigments change from blue to pink in about 3,5 minutes, indicating that the infusion is ready.
