Wheelthrown Teapot with Cane Handle, hot Pea and Leaf Design, Handmade Ceramic Teapot, Fine Art Ceramics, Tea Makers, Teapots

This beautiful hand painted fully functional teapot is perfect for afternoon high tea with friends or evenings sipping bedtime tea while the rain patters against your windows. It has an English cane handle and a built-in strainer for loose leaves or tea bags, as you prefer. The spout pours very well without dripping, as I pay particular attention to this detail.

This teapot is intended for the purpose of brewing tea, so do not use it as a kettle on an open flame. It is always a good idea to warm it up by rolling a little hot water around in it before filling completely hot with boiling water from the kettle.

I made it using white stoneware clay and assembled the wheel-thrown pieces into a functional whole. It's decorated using slips and my original wax-resist technique, then dipped in multiple Shino, Celadon and Apple Green glazes and high fired to approx. 2350F in a gas reduction kiln.

Food safe and dishwasher safe, but easier to wash by hand due to cane handle.
Dimensions are approx. 9 1/4" tall from base to the top of handle, 5 1/4" tall body x 5 1/4" in diameter, 7 1/2" long w/spout, capacity approx. 36 oz.
