Black Skye Teapot I









Black Skye Teapot I
‘Yokode Kyūsu’ means one handed teapot in Japanese.
Hand thrown on my potters wheel using black clay. This teapot is made up of four separate pieces carefully constructed and then left to dry for at least a week. Glazed in glossy glaze with opalescent blues, pinks and greys. Where the glaze is thinner the dark clay shines through echoing the Outer Hebridian landscapes from which I drew my inspiration.
Fired to 1240 degrees centigrade.
The teapot in the picture is the teapot you’ll receive. This teapot is a good pourer.
My potter’s mark is on the base.
