carved teapots. collaboration w/ clay co conspirator Diane KW.

soda fired. each piece is about 9 inches high

Now if you could collaborate with a glassblower to blow an inner glass shell into those pots so the tea could be brewed without pouring out the carved holes

Function AND Form.

here's some recent celadon double walled, carved, porcelain yunomi
reduction fired to cone 10

enjoy ! have a great weekend !

[ethan]

beautiful! what are the dimensions?

[bonjiri]

humble thanks @Ethan

about 3.00 inches wide and 2.25 inches tall

the cool (pun intended) part of this design is as w/ porcelain's heat conductivity, because of the double walled design, your precious fingers will not get burned.

cheers !
