About:
A ball shaped teapot that almost entirely covered with ‘flame’ browning with greenish top handle.  This green wood firing melted ash is one my favourite, usually there is a bit also on the tip of the spout.

This teapot clay contains a bit of locally sourced kaolin clay which is used for porcelain. The tea made of such a teapot has round, mild and pleasant taste, similar taste as achieved by pure porcelain teapots. The unglazed fired shred will be slowly aged and change its color.

Each teapot has an unique shape, size, fire marks. The teapot surface is very smooth and nice to touch. The inside of the teapot is not glazed.
