This cute child-sized teapot could be used as a salt or pepper or sugar or other much used spices pour. The spout drips a tiny bit so water or honey or cream would probably not be the best option.
I fashioned it after watching these videos on You Tube. These are a blast to watch and if you have time, watch them.

Mr. Choo charges hundreds of dollars for his small teapots. But he is a master and I am learner. So my teapots are considerably less and definitely not as well made. Sorry. Someday. Baby steps.
I threw this on the pottery wheel and hand-formed the spout, top, and handle. The removable top had stilt-marks which I sanded down.
I consider this a second and so I am pricing for half of what I would if I had not had to sand down those stilt marks.
This is dishwasher and microwave safe.Lead free glazes were used. Holds approx. 2 ounces. 3 1/2" tall. Go have a look at it here.

It's a commercial cone 6 glaze from Galaxy (Speckled Bayou Blue).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment on the teapot. It was sure fun to make!
