Camel teapot - Tony Wood Studio circa 1985

Camel teapot produced by Tony Wood Studio of Fenton, England, circa 1985. A camel is an even-toed ungulate in the genus Camelus that bears distinctive fatty deposits known as "humps" on its back. Camels have long been domesticated and, as livestock, they provide food and textiles. Camels are working animals especially suited to their desert habitat and are a vital means of transport for passengers and cargo. There are three surviving species of camel. The one-humped dromedary makes up 94% of the world's camel population, and the two-humped Bactrian camel makes up 6%. The Wild Bactrian camel is a separate species and is now critically endangered. The camel's neck and head form the spout of the teapot and his tail forms the handle.
