Blue Crackle Teapot
Teapots are exceptional items in the world of ceramics, showcasing endless design possibilities. These pieces are represented somewhere in the balance between form and function. ‘Form over Function, Function over Form” is a conversation during their creation.
I began with a bottomless cylinder on the wheel, then sliced it into pieces and reassembled them into a more rectangular shape, ultimately constructing a bottom for the piece. For the top, I formed a slab with a slight curve. I also crafted the lid and spout components on the potter's wheel.
The handle was designed on paper first, which I then traced onto two slabs of clay. I shaped the slabs into a pillow structure, creating a puffy handle when the two slabs were pressed together, completing its form.
I constantly draw inspiration from architecture, industrial shapes, and forms. I enjoy creating an aged appearance using metallic oxides and a crackle glaze. The functionality may be questionable by its form but I take great pride in crafting these pieces for use. This teapot is 12 inches tall, 6 inches wide and 4 inches deep.
