Ceramic Fish Teapot Mandarinfish

Description

This latest addition to my brood of fish teapots was inspired by the Mandarinfish. I first saw a Mandarinfish in person at the Florida Aquarium, I was used to the variety that comes in greens but the one that I saw was in turquoise, blues and wine. This party girl is complete with rhinestone studded sunglasses, clay bead earrings and glass beaded wires trailing off her dorsal fins. Mandy measures 10.5" from lips to tip of tail, 9.5" high not including the beads and 5" wide.

Mandy was formed using soft earthenware clay. I used the potter's wheel to throw her ring body and a inverted cylinder for her base. She was finished off using handbuilding techniques to bring her to life. All of the clay and glazes that I use are certified non-toxic, lead-free so if you want to give her a smooch, go right ahead.

Mandy has all of the elements of a teapot but isn't practical for use. Because of her lucsious lips, she's a drooler. No microwave for her either becuase of the metal wire used for her beads. She does make a fantastic addition to a teapot or fish collection or for someone that loves whimsy.

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

Thanks for visiting.
From my hands to yours!
