This handmade, wheel thrown, crystalline glazed teapot holds about 4 to 6 cups of tea and is 7 inches tall (excluding the handle) and 6 inches wide. The light blue crystalline glaze gives the piece an organic feel which is accentuated by the rounded shape and nicely curved handle. This is a one of a kind teapot and is completely original. It pours well and is comfortable to hold. The lid fits well with a small hole to allow the steam to escape and aids ease of pouring.
Crystalline glazed ceramics are hard to produce and are fairly rare because of the difficult glaze formulas and firing schedules. Teapots themselves are difficult to make, entailing a number of intricate processes to ensure the lid fits correctly and that the spout pours well. This is an outstanding piece of ceramic art which would make a truly spectacular gift for any occasion.
