A Cup of Tea

Description

Keeping it to a simple design and then adding decorative features to build a pot that is functional and attractive. Its white stoneware fired to about 2300 degrees.

Thrown on the wheel it has an added thrown spout and lid that has a gallery and a thrown knob. It also has a pulled handle that is comfortable to hold.
The turned foot stands up a little off the table.
The colors have a great high shine that is smooth and decorative.
The design was made using a carving tool to create stripes around the pot. The glaze is darker there which highlighted the design.
This teapot is 7.5" H from knob to bottom. Although it is dishwasher and microwave safe just give it a gentle hand wash and air dry.
All the glazes I use are lead free and food safe.
