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. I also started to play with the handles during this series. I remembered the workshop given by Takesha Yasuda, when I was at Sanbao in 2003.
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.
