Novelty items featuring Pokemon are generally not hard to find, with the franchise being one of the most popular in gaming history. Now, Japanese company Ensky is accepting pre-orders for a teapot in the shape of the Pokemon Psyduck for a steep price of over 100 dollars.

Psyduck is a duck Pokemon introduced in the first generation set in the Kanto Region. Its appearance has the resemblance to both a duck and a bipedal platypus, and it has been present in both the anime and the games very prominently. Ensky is a Japanese company that has collaborated with Pokemon before to release a wrist rest resembling the Pokemon Yamper, with pre-orders ending in January 2022 and a release window of April 2022 set.

On March 4th, 2022, Ensky opened pre-orders for a teapot in the shape of Psyduck that will also ship in late April. The teapot is basically a Psyduck with a handle in its back and no arms or legs. Its head acts at the top, there is a steeper inside the pot, and the spout out of which the tea will pour is just under the Pokemon's mouth, making it look like the tea is coming from Psyduck's beak. All of these adorable teapots are handmade by an artisan using minoyaki ceramics that can be found in the Gifu prefecture of Japan. The price of the teapot is 13,200 JPY, converting to about $114.15.

Pokemon has done many collaborations with many different companies to produce merchandise. An example could be seen back in 2020 when Build-a-Bear added Psyduck and Snubble around the hype of the Pokemon Detective Pikachu film release. This teapot is just another to add to the list and is one of many premium items available for fans to buy.
