Should be in the included ditribution sample files. Look in
the pov subdirectory scenefiles/advanced/teapot/teapot.pov

Just in case, here's another from a VRML file by Cindy Ballreich.
You can never have too many teapots.

And I still say it's spelled "Potatoe" darnit !

With that same sentiment I would be remiss if I failed to mention that not
only is the classic "Utah Teapot" available with the standard Pov distribution,
there is yet another subdirectory in the same tree that has variations of the
classic "Utah Teapot". Your wait for this information will have been worth it
for the joy of the new discovery and I wish you all well.

What is the deal with the teapot?

Why is it so common?

Seems to me that the Utah teapot is to surfaces as the cornell box is to
radiosity - a familiar was of showing things off.  I'm sure there's an
interesting history to it, I just don't know it.

1975 - Martin Newell (Utah) develops CGI teapot (physical teapot now in
the Computer Museum in Boston)

Want a great history of things web page of other things (where the above
excerpt came from)?

 http://www.cgrg.ohio-state.edu/~waynec/history/timeline.html

A kind of "history" I like.
