A wand of teleportation can teleport away monsters and items. You can even zap it at yourself as a way to teleport.
It's one of the few universally useful items; even on no-teleport levels, you can use it to teleport dangerous monsters away from you. However, trying to teleport any of the three Riders (or their corpses) has a 12/13 of teleporting them to a square adjacent to you (and reviving them if necessary), and so is generally a Bad Idea.
In high density areas like Moloch's Sanctum and the Astral Plane, wands of teleportation are invaluable. You can also use them to get out of engulfing monsters such as air elementals (by zapping them from the inside, or zapping yourself if it's a teleport-allowed level).
Zapping a peaceful monster with this wand will anger it (shopkeeper, aligned priest).
Wands of teleportation, along with cancellation and make invisible, will make engravings vanish. Unlike those wands, however, you can find the engraving somewhere else on the level. If you engrave-ID a vanishing wand, you can test if it's teleportation by zapping a monster or item.

Wands comprise 4% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 6% in containers, 5% on the Rogue level, and 8% in Gehennom. There is a 4.5% chance that a randomly-generated wand will be a wand of teleportation.
