This is the same Tenmoku glaze, this time around the glaze appears with more red tones.
Beautifully crafted stoneware teapot, made from Cornish clay with a deep rich tenmoku glaze, creating a dark smooth glossy surface with many complementing tones of burnt umber that define the contours and edges in a painterly way. The interior is spacious and of a rich satin coppery tone. A satisfying balance of weight and proportion is created through a classic globe style form that rises to a gentle domed lid with a comfortable back handle and balanced spout that enjoys a great pouring action. A small size teapot, 1-2 cups, making it perfect for a solo drinker or plus one.
Each handmade and unique, therefore slight variations in shape, size and glaze will occur. Handwash recommended.
