The artwork is in the form of a teapot, approximately 7 meters high, and was installed in 2013. It was created by Lily van der Stokker as part of the art exhibition Call of the Mall.
The teapot represented the intimate, everyday life amidst the large-scale renovations of the station area and Hoog Catharijne. The name also refers to Russell's teapot, an analogy about truth claims by the philosopher Bertrand Russell.
