GH101 Large Fluted Teapot
This teapot is black with variations of warm gold from ash deposited on it from the wood firing. There are delicate lines incised around the parameter that make the glaze break in a beautiful way. Also, it has a subtle gradation of color from one side to the other. Simple, functional, and well balanced, this teapot is what I call a four person teapot. Enough tea for four to six cups of tea and a little more for each person. So about 6-8 cups. There is a strainer inside the pot so you can use loose tea as well as tea bags. The insides are all glazed in blue as well.
Teapots are one of my favorite things to make. Having worked as an apprentice for three years in England, I grew to enjoy the ritual of "tea time" and the beauty of having tea from fine hand made teapot. Of course working for David Leach I made many teapots. I am an avid tea drinker and teapot maker.
