TERRANCE FRANK LAZAROFF, CD, BFA

Teapot inspired by Fong Choo

 

ABOUT Terrance

I sent this teapot to Jingdezhen, China in 2008. It now rests in the Sanbao International Art Institute museum.

The teapot was inspired by Fong Choo, a noted potter working in the United States of America.

ABOUT THIS PIECE
 
The teapot was thrown using cone six porcelain stoneware. Real porcelain must be fired to a much higher temperature.

I threw the body of the teapot as a closed form and later made the opening for the lid. Using the closed formed helped me when rounding our the body.

The teapot measured approximately 4" by 6" high. so it is about the size on a man's fist. The surface decoration was by brush using pigments and oxides on the green-ware. The piece was then thrown and glazed with a crystal clear, transparent, glaze.
