A luxurious teapot, commissioned by a UK charity, has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s most valuable teapot. Named “The Egoist,” the shining gem of a kettle is dripping with diamonds from every angle. Made by Italian jeweler Fulvio Scavia, the teapot begins with a handle made of molded mammoth ivory, which involves a lot more delicacy and care. The glamorous body of the pot has a base of 18K yellow gold and parts of gold-plated genuine silver. It’s impossible to ignore the fact that the gold is embedded with 1,658 brilliant diamonds and 386 authentic Thai and Burmese rubies, adding a crimson punch to the pot’s exterior. The extravagant teapot is part of the “Chitra Collection” of antique products sponsored by the N Sethia Foundation, a philanthropic organization that provides education, spiritual activities, and medical research in London.
