Tea set #2
This Tea set is made up of one teapot, carved out of a single block of clay, exploring the japanese technique of Kirinukui (切り抜) a verb that means "to cut out. Here texture made from carving the form are left visible to create interesting surface texture.
The Teapot is finished with a honey ash glaze which pools in crevices and breaks over the warm claybodies edges, which heroes the hand carved nature of the pot.
There are straining holes in the passage of the spout for larger leaf loose tea, fine loose leaf such as rooibos will need further straining on pouring.
The accompanying vessel is a small kirinuku vessel which echoes the teapot.
Teapot holds: 170ml
Tea vessel holds: 65ml
