Ash, Eight

Glazed stoneware・5 day wood-fired

Liao Guo Hua’s Ash teapots are crafted from an oxide-rich American clay, then partially coated in black glaze. Vitrified fly ash on the top surfaces of these teapots add dimension and contrast. Each is hand-formed, and fired in a wood-kiln for 5 days.

This particular teapot is slightly larger than others in the series, with a very faint hint of chartreuse. The interior is lightly glazed. The pot body is round. A round contrasting finial graces the lid.

Usage and care: Hand-wash with water only.
