It is common knowledge that all living beings need water to survive: and that our prehistoric ancestors would have drank plenty of it. The practice of tea brewing shares its "oldness", with legends telling of its origin dating older than 2500 BCE. While the object itself might contain modern elements, the purpose of this teapot is far from it: to some enthusiasts, tea drinking is both an act of survival and a homage to the past.

Furthermore, the process of brewing tea is the exact antonym of modern-ness. While modern society and mindset is all about efficiency, speed and simplification, brewing and drinking tea from a teapot is inefficient, slow-paced and extravagant. To measure the right amount of tea leaves for this brewing, slowly boiling the water and waiting for water to be infused is almost tiresome compared to microwaving a teabag. The drawn out process of tea drinking is processed with this teapot as its medium: which adds a layer of anti-modern sentiment to it.

The juxtaposition we can find from this teapot is far from uncommon: because what we pursue in daily life was left unchanged despite the rapid modernization of our surroundings. While objects and materials of our life have been modernized, the history and action it conveys is still kept distinctively anti-modern.
