Ash Glaze Teapot by Charlie Collier

Ash Glaze Teapot by Charlie Collier


Hand Thrown in Devon


Approximate measurements: 14cm height x 20cm width (handle to spout). 1 litre (3 - 4 cups).

A bright and beautiful teapot crafted with great skill, care and attention to detail in a traditional globe style, good capacity and balanced proportions with a comfortably shaped handle and fine spout, pouring excellently. Formed with iron rich Cornish clay, using a wood ash glaze that creates a calming satin green contrasting with silvery grey tones, fine speckles and fine glassy crackle.

We have two of these available, though very similar each are unique, therefore slight variations in shape, size and glaze will occur.

Charlie Collier creates functional hand thrown stoneware pieces that have an effortless simplicity and beauty to them made to enhance occasions and enrich our daily lives. Admiring the philosophy, that pots are ‘born, not made’ Charlie follows an organic approach to the creative process with the clay, paying particular detail to shape and form and instinctively knowing at which point a form is complete. He creates pieces that have a honest connection, energy and real character to them, something that you only feel with a handmade item.

Previously honing his skills and experience at Whichford Pottery and alongside its founder, Jim Keeling and a group of Japanese potters from Bizen, to build and fire with a Anagama woodfiring Kiln at Wytham Woods in Oxford. Charlie is now based at the Kigbeare Kiln Project near Okehampton, Devon.
