Woodfired Teapot

This is one of my favorite teapots from the last year. Something happened to its lid after loading and we ended up finding it over 3 feet away from where it was placed, near the bottom of the sidestoke. My best suspicion is a mouse broke into the kiln and moved it before the firing started. Despite this the lid survived, fits perfect and has a cool funky surface to tell the story.

This Teapot was fired for 3 days in the train kiln and reduction cooled. It was thrown and altered on the wheel and textured. My teapots are hyper-functional and feature a built in strainer for loose leaf tea. They do not dribble and pour extremely well. They hold enough tea for one person to enjoy a 12oz cup or two people to share 6oz cups. Made with local North Carolina Clay.
