From Crate and Barrel's web site: "Paola Navone is a world-renowned architect, designer, interior decorator, industrial planner, creator of events and, in her words, "a little bit of an anthropologist. She is a dreamer, she is curious, she is eclectic.

She is West, and she is East. She is Italian by birth. She lives in Milan, Paris and on a Greek island.

Her affinity for the fish has to do with many life experiences. I lived in Asia for many years where it is a symbol of good luck. I like to spend time by the waterthe waves and sound are hypnotic. The Arzberg Teapot has been a Crate and Barrel classic since the day we first opened our doors 50 years ago on December 7, 1962.

Inspired by the Bauhaus school, its perfectly simple shape was designed in 1931 for the Arzberg porcelain factory in Germany. A young college student by the name of Gordon Segal first bought the teapot as a birthday present for his mother who loved making tea in the afternoon. When he opened the very first Crate and Barrel store in Chicago with his wife, Carole, he bought it again. In a 12-month celebration of our 50th anniversary year, we have invited 12 international designers to envision the Arzberg teapot as their artistic canvas. Each is a limited-edition collector's item, numbered and signed by the artist.

Packaged in a special collector's box crafted of FSC-certified pine wood.
