Apparently the teapot is an often manipulated object in computer science. The one shown here is created by Ann Torrence. She took numerous digital images of the same: water with bubbles in a clear glass teapot under a white strobe light. Using Adobe Photoshop, Anne then applied various grey levels of the spectrum to assemble this one image. In her words: The resulting transformation of time into spectral space yields a non-realistic yet evocative approach to image-making. I must admit I do not fully understand the technique; however, the image is spectacular.
