Where do I get the teapot in Please Like Me, something similar?

Best answer: If something similar will do, then antique/thrift shops or places like eBay, Etsy or other online market places. Search for 'enamel coffee pot' or 'enamel tea pot'.

Best answer: Seems like a job for etsy! I just did a search for yellow enamel teapot on etsy and there are some similar ones that showed up.

Response by poster: Ah! So enamel is the trick! (I was searching for "metal teapots" and wondering why I kept coming up short." Thank you!

Best answer: I found this, which seems to be exactly the item, though without the decoration. Search for "yellow enamel coffeepot" not teapot.

Response by poster: Follow up question: Do I need matching cups or is it fine if I serve tea with plain white ceramic Ikea cups and this teapot?

Best answer: Totally fine to serve with Ikea cups. I wouldn't feel the need to have matching cups. I mean you can find enamel tea cups on etsy, some even as a set with a yellow teapot, but not nearly as cute as that peacock pot, and I vastly prefer drinking out of ceramic cups, YTDMV (your tea drinking may vary).

Best answer: Not that it really matters but it's a coffee pot, not a teapot, so if you're going to serve tea out of it you will have already angered any pearl-clutchers who would be offended by non-matching cups.
