Looks like an option to lop off the headtube on your Cotic/On-One etc and fit a tapered one. They do custom frames etc don't they so probably an inhouse job.

it's more for framebuilders, but if you want to buy one! We have a few...

Yeah would make a nice desk ornament..
I thought they were lobster pots.
to catch packing peanuts or tiny lobsters?
Just out of interest what would it cost to have one retro fitted to an existing frame?
quite a bit, difficult to jig up accurately basically, plus you'd need paint/powder after. Of the top of my head a good 5-600 I would have thought. Modifying frames takes a lot more effort than building from scratch
