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

Yixing Inspired.
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.
