Karakter Teapot

Description

This is one of a new series of sculptural teapots that I began making shortly before my seminal visit to France. They have evolved since then with great joy and whimsy.

My teapots, as always, indicate the challenges and tribulations in our lives that give us character, that make us interesting, that give us our uniqueness and power.

These teapots take several weeks to complete, use a much more complex glazing process for the colors, and they are a result of a delicate balance in the firing process. They are well worth the effort and time. But the joy for me is in the process: I get lost when I am working on these, I get into the "flow", and totally lose track of time.

This is functional, but only nominally. They don't pour as well as my "curly" teapots, but you can use them if you like. I wouldn't put them in the dishwasher or microwave, though. I'm not sure how the glass beads would do in there.

The true joy of these is in looking at them, seeing the character of each side. Enjoy.

Return Policy: If this teapot doesn't give you joy, convo me for a refund.
Peace
Larry
