I first saw Utah Teapot in OpenGL:<p><a href="https://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut/spec3/node89.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut/spec3/node89...</a><p>Surprised to see the teapot got another update this year.

The pelican on the bike seems like the new teapot.
I wonder the reasons for adding/removing the base rims over the years
