This glass teapot had a capacity of 1 litre and was produced in a small factory town in North-eastern China.

It still amazes us to this day how a combination of online tools allowed two individuals in Singapore to profitably air-freight boxes of these teapots from China for sale in the USA.

On hindsight, it was a terrible product but we learnt so many valuable lessons in identifying markets, satisfying demand and fixing everything that can (and will) go wrong along the way.
