on christmas we ate at a shanghai restaurant that had the most amazing teapots... i don't mean beautiful, really they were rather ordinary-looking. but they had this amazing spout... i'm not sure how well i can describe it... it looked like a regular spout except that at the tip it turned around and the opening, when the teapot is sitting on the table, is pointing down, at the table, and flat horizontal with the table. it didn't drip. once. ever. and it poured with a very controlled flow that never sloshed tea out of your cup. even when my dad was pouring. it was marvelous. and i have no idea what it's called or how to find it. a search for "dripless teapot" comes up with a lot of teapots that aren't what i want. has anyone seen something like this?
