This tea pot was made on my potter’s wheel using a white stoneware clay. Covered with a black slip with a carved surface design, the image around the pot reflects a landscape view of a river flowing by distant hills, it’s finished with a clear glaze on the top. The “sky” portion of the landscape suggests the ever present stars and planets above and comes to a peak with its fountain-like knob rising from the center of the lid. The rest of the body of the pot is unglazed, yet fired to a soft satin that softly catches the light.
