Teapot inspired by Fong Choo

ABOUT Terrance

This will be in a solo show of my teapots during May 2012 at a local boutique in Montreal. I will post more information next spring.

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

Yixing Inspired.

ABOUT THIS PIECE

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

This teapot is a classic form. I used the Chinese Tattoo transfers. I purchased these when I was in China in 2008. I have had a lot of un playing with them.

The teapot measured approximately 4.5" by 7" 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.
