Round Teapots

Two bulbous teapots with foot and slightly raised rim to the lid. The spout is bulbously stepped, the handle made of bamboo. The speckled glaze of regional feldspathic rock is applied irregularly in several thin layers. The thicker areas are clouded white by undissolved quartz, the thinner areas dent into orange-brown. In between the tongue-shaped pouring pattern, are free areas where the dark, coarse clay shows. Reduction fired in a wood kiln at 1260° C.
