Fish Teapot Made to Order

Description

From the moment that I saw this fish in my very first book on reef fishies, I fell in love. This fish is the Reef Triggerfish, or as the Hawaiians call her, Humuhumunukunukuapuaa. The state fish of Hawaii. I actually saw them when we visited Hawaii a few years ago. Of course the ones that I saw weren't wearing sunglasses!

This is for a made to order teapot. Please allow 4-5 weeks for shipment

She has the components of a teapot, ring is her handle, she has a lid and her mouth is her spout, BUT, do not use her, because of her plump lips she's drooler. She's just for show. Made of soft earthenware clay, that I've thrown on the potter's wheel then added handbuilt embelishments. she has high temperature wire for her eyelashes, rhinestones glued into her sunglasses, glass beads strung on wire trailing off her dorsal and trigger fins and of course the earrings. Fron start to finish my fish teapots take about 6 weeks. These babies aren't born overnight! The clay and glazes that I use are certified non-toxic, lead free, food safe, so if you want to give her a big smooch, go ahead.

If you have any questions that I haven't answered through my listing or Shop Policies, please send me a convo.

Thanks for visiting.
From my hands to yours!!
