Hand Thrown in Devon
Approximate measurements: 10cm height / 21.5cm incl. handle x 13cm width incl. spout. 570ml

This tall formed teapot is a joy to use and admire. Skilfully crafted with great care and consideration, good balance of weight and proportion. Crafted from Cornish stoneware clay with a shino glaze, that’s been fired with soda.

Creating a blending of granite-like greys, greenish tones and fine glassy crackle. The smooth surface is beautifully layered with soda making for an orange peel like texture, speckled with black and white flecks.

The form rises to a small opening, inset lid and neat filtered spout that has a great pouring action. Finished with a classic curved bamboo handle. This is a great teapot, a decent smaller 2-3 cup size that’s full of character and detail.

Each handmade and unique, therefore slight variations in shape, size and glaze will occur. Handwash recommended.
