World's Most Expensive Tea Set

Well, I'm going to assume it's the world's most expensive tea set. At $69,500 it's hard to imagine one more expensive. But then again, maybe I just have an inadequate imagination.

You can see this wondrous object (better be, at that price) at the Unica site, right here. It's called alessi limited edition tea & coffee towers (when is this lowercase fad going to pass?) and the artist/craftsman/whatever is Gary Chang. Great work if you can get it, I suppose.

Needless to say, this beauty is a little rich for my blood. But if you're planning to pick one up, act now. The edition is limited to 99 copies.

Thanks to the person over at Adagio's Tea Chat forum who posted this one.
