the iitala sarpaneva pot has been on my wish list for a while- one day! i'd love to find out who makes the white pot as well. any ideas? i though it was dansk at first, but the handles are different aren't they?

Hey!
The pot is by this finnish designer Antti Nurmesniemi.

This tea pot is also by him and it comes all different colors and I heard that they will start making those again :)

The pot isn't actually by Antti Nurmesniemi - it was designed by Seppo Mallat who used to work in Nurmesniemi's studio. The item was manufactured by Arabia (then Finel), and has not been in production for a long time (the Nurmesniemi tea pot mentioned in the previous comment, however, is currently in reproduction here in Finland). Vintage is therefore the only way to go, but I wouldn't bother with Japanese design stores as their prices for Finnish design are extortionate!
Thanks for the info guys!
wow, beautiful photos, informed commenters!
So much to learn!
