There was a teapot patch generation program published in IEEE Computer
Graphics a while ago - maybe a year or two. It had some tables to start with,
and could generate an arbitrary fine teapot. I typed it in (Pascal) and
got it to print PostScript pots. However, it seemed to me that there was some 
bug in the table, because the pot looked odd at one side. I checked the 
tables twice, to no avail. But it's a starting point. I have the source on
my PC at home; if there's need, I'll post it.
