Angular Teapot
Teapot and cover, reddish buff stoneware, partly slipped, and sprayed with blue-green pigment, salt-glazed. The teapot wheel-thrown, slightly compressed, on a flat base showing six pad marks, a rib at the bottom of the sides which taper to the shallow domed shoulders, vertical groove on each side, running from a small double circle motif, horizontally grooved and compressed spout, grooved strap handle curving from the spout back over the cover, which is a flattened stopper shape; the sides, the lower part of the spout, and the cover are slip-coated giving the salt-glaze a mottled blue-green appearance; elsewhere the glaze has crawled, producing a pronounced 'orange peel' effect.
