Inscription.  

This teapot is based on the 'Utah Teapot' form, a digital object made public by mathematician Martin Newell, in 1975. The shape was, and is, used for the development of software which enables myriad creative industries, including architecture, film production, animation, video game production, and the visual arts.

Tá an taephota seo bunaithe ar chruth 'Taephota Utah', earra digiteach a rinne an matamaiticeoir Martin Newell, in 1975. Úsáideadh, agus úsáidtear an cruth chun bogearraí a fhorbairt a chumasaíonn go leor tionscail chruthaitheacha, ailtireacht, léiriú scannán beochan, táirgeadh físchluichí, agus na hAmharcealaíona san áireamh.
