24-inch long teapot

started with donut form, then i cut it up and reassembled

[Chip]

2 Cory Chawan arrived yesterday. And 2 Wan/Yunomi, equally beautiful and coordinating with each of the Chawan. Not sure which I likes moar, the Chawan-s or the cups. All 4 pieces have the very Kool cory lum signature carved koudai. Thank you, cory.

This one is full of drippies and is quite impressive in glaze, form and SIZE. Ya, Big sucka! Oh and the iron "whatever" that was added to the glaze is really purdy, showing butifully as red in the krackles that unfortunately is not showing in the photos.



Light celadon, heavy crackles like green ice.

[Victoria]

Wow, beautiful!

[geeber1]

Wow, that light celadon one is awesome!

Not sure about that looooong teapot though - it reminds me of a wiener dog.

[Dreamer]

Wow, I'm not fond of green inside my matcha bowls (to my eyes it tends to clash with the color of the matcha), but that "green ice" look is mesmerizing!

That disjointed donut teapot must have been fun to make!

Thanks for the eye-candy!
