An opulent teapot with a staggering price tag of $3 million, approximately Rs 24 crore, caught the attention of netizens when Guinness World Records showcased the jewel-encrusted creation on X.
Dubbed ‘The Egoist’, the ornate kettle was a collaboration between the N Sethia Foundation of the UK and Newby Teas of London, meticulously crafted by Italian jeweler Fulvio Scavia.
The Guinness World Records shared images of the teapot on X, receiving numerous likes. However, many users humorously critiqued its extravagance. One user posted an image of their simple teapot, jesting, “The tea in my cup this morning will taste same as the one in any…” Another quipped, “Will the tea prepare itself?”
This is the most valuable teapot in the world.
