Top-tea set by Oki Sato of Nendo.

‘A teapot and cup set. The thick wooden lid provides good insulation to keep the tea warm, and its pointed centre condenses steam into liquid and directs it back into the teapot, rather dripping down the sides. The lid becomes a top, and can be spun on the tabletop for amusement while drinking tea’
