Teapot

Last weekend at the Bellevue Fair, I had so many people tell me they had a painting of mine, or I had done tile for them. Always good to hear. And a couple of them said they had pots of mine! One lady sent me this picture of a teapot she’s still using. My best guess on a date is some time in the early 70s. It’s pretty ugly, but I can tell you it would pour without dripping, the lid would not fall off when you poured, and the handle or knob would not burn your fingers. This is stoneware, cone 10 reduction, probably made at Pottery Northwest. I loved making teapots and I got a lot better at them than this.
