The body is comprised of four sides that give way to a soft, rounded lip and gently curved spout for precise pouring.

While the collective work of this couple has distinct through lines, there are nonetheless small subtleties that speak to each of the artist’s unique hand. It’s in this attention to detail, from both the maker and the user of each vessel, that the beauty and artistry of hand-crafted pottery is illuminated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsage and care: These teapots feature a thin, interior liner glaze and are suitable for use with all tea types.
