-The teapot is not available to buy anywhere, but has been awarded to winners of at least one televised edition of ''[[Countdown]]'' since [[Episode 2426|New Year's Eve 1998]]. Since then it has undergone several small stylistic revisions, most recently at the start of [[Series 60]]. However, it has maintained more or less the same appearance since its inception. The Countdown teapot has become a much sought after collectors' item, even causing some past contestants to sell theirs at auction where well looked after examples can fetch in the region of £150 - though selling a winners only item is not really in the spirit of the game.
