Serving your morning coffee or after-dinner decaf in this striking and sculptural porcelain pot — designed by midcentury modern icon Paul McCobb for Royal Jackson Internationale — would just be so much more civilized than sloshing that java straight out of the standard-issue Mr. Coffee canister, don’t you think? Current bid: $20. (Hurry — the auction ends Tuesday.)
