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 beautifully layered, with gray ash on top of black glaze on top of iron-toned clay. The interior of the teapot is glazed. The pot body is rounded - with a slight tapered bottom. A round finial graces the lid.

Usage and care: Hand-wash with water only.
