Black Skye Teapot II







Black Skye Teapot II
Teapot with brass hemp cord covered handle.
Inspired by the ever-changing weather of the Outer Hebrides, as it rolls in from the sea and sweeps across the landscape.
Hand thrown on my potters wheel using black clay. This teapot is made up of five separate pieces carefully constructed and then left to dry for at least a week. Finished with a hand wrought brass handle wrapped in jute twine.
Finished in my homemade Glenbrittle glaze; a palette of opalescent blues, pinks and greys. Where the glaze thins, the dark clay beneath is more evident, adding depth and contrast.
Fired to 1240 degrees centigrade.
The teapot in the picture is the teapot you’ll receive.
This teapot has a great pour.
My potter’s mark is on the base.
