Received this from the Word-A-Day list. Doesn't seem to have much to
do with Sir Cadogan, but if you go to the first website, it has a
very interesting picture.
cadogan
(kuh-DUG-uhn) noun
A lidless teapot, inspired by Chinese wine pots, that is
filled from the bottom.
[After William Cadogan, 1st Earl of Cadogan (1675-1726),
who was said to be the first Englishman to own such a pot.]
