The Adventure Time BMO teapot is perhaps the only way for a superfan of the show to properly serve tea.
This quirky teapot was artfully crafted by Rebekka Ferbrache, proprietor of the Etsy store Jadeflower. For those who don't watch the show, I admittedly am one of those people, BMO is the video game console/best friend of Adventure Time's Finn and Jake.
The Adventure Time BMO teapot has been expertly crafted to resemble the living and breathing gaming system from the cult cartoon show. All of the buttons are there, and "BMO" runs down both sides (the arm and the spout) of the pot. The Adventure Time BMO teapot is sold as a complete set, it also comes with four teacups, and is priced at $150.00.
