A great loking teapot John. How did you do the texturing? It look like you had hammered it. I like it so much that I want to try making one myself. Do you mind if I use yours as inspiration?

Nice John,

The trivet is that little something extra that adds so much.

What a beautiful piece, John. I wouldn't expect anything else, but this is over the top perfect. It's fun just to look at and study.

Excellent John, looks just like old cast iron.

It is indeed hammered, feel free to have at it. Cast iron was the intent.

Thank you all.

Beautiful piece John.
What are the dimensions ?
What does the Japanese writing say ?

Thanks, Jim. Maybe seven inches tall. It is not profound.

Superb, John.......

Is there any intent to use it for what it looks like......or is this simply a study in design, using the lathe to create the shape?

Thanks. No, it would be hard to make tea in a wooden pot, I think. It's for the AAW teapot exhibiton-I was invited, but I think it may be juried as well.

John, a great example of the synergy of form, texture and color!
