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 cylinder with out a bottom and them assembled the sides when the clay was right. The ground colour grey was applied using a spray and then a under-glaze transfer was applied. If you wish to try these transfers you can go to this link: http://yingzart.com/
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.
