In Greek mythology, Sagittarius was a giant teapot. The gods were really fond of tea.
The central region of our Milky Way Galaxy lies in the direction of Sagittarius from Earth's point of view. It is home to about a squillion stars, and some particularly nice nebulae like the Trifid and Lagoon nebulae, as well as Baade's Window, a relatively dust-free region of the galaxy's inner regions that lets us view some of the stars of the Galactic Bulge.
Under dark skies, the white clouds of the Milky Way sometimes look like they are emanating from the spout of the teapot.
