Bronze/green teapot (June 2021)
6.5" H, 8" L Satin green and bronze. A good functional piece: it's big enough for tea for two or maybe three, has a pleasantly dumpy hobbit-ish shape, the spout nicely matches the handle (which is sturdy and big enough for a good grip), and the lid fits securely A teapot is finicky to make and can take all day, since the moisture content of the various clay components has to be just right for the many operations (trimming, cutting, assembling, etc.).
