Tea time just took a disturbing turn with Tea Party. The clay sculpture series, by Israeli artist Ronit Baranga, creates what should be the scene of a girl and her tea party. It quickly turns nightmarish as the cups and saucers feature mouths and fingers.
Tea Party was displayed in Australia’s beinArt gallery last month. Hopefully, your next tea time goes a little better… especially if it includes those little sandwiches.

Tea time just took a dark turn, with the Darth Vader Tea Kettle. Brought to us by The Fowndry, the evil tea-maker is not only sleek and menacing, it’ll whistle when your tea is ready.
Think of this as being summoned to the dark side. Unless you take milk in your tea, then there’s a new hope. Available for pre-order here.
It’s your tea party, so you get to speak your mind as brutally as you see fit. Insult Teacups, by Miss Havisham’s Curiosities, will help you dispense the insults, rather than absorb them.
The teacup sets are not only sophisticated, but a printed message is included to help get your point across. And, if Muffy can’t take a joke, she can take her crumpets and fancy hat elsewhere.
See more below and over at Miss Havisham’s webstore.
If you only knew the power of the tea time. The Death Star Teapot and Mug Set wants to be the ultimate power in your tea universe.
When together, they form a ceramic version of the Empire’s ultimate weapon, The Death Star. Then you can unleash its laser blast [read: tea] into the mug.
But beware… the rebels in the coffee maker have found a weakness. Check it out here.

The Brits take their tea time pretty seriously. Falling hundreds of feet with a rubber band attached to your ankles… also serious.
Bungee/biscuit-lover, Simon Berry, is very serious and very British. Berry not only plummeted 230-ft, but he then set the Guinness World Record by dipping his biscuit in tea at the bottom. Watch the greatest tea-time ever below.
