No.25 – Miniature Teapot (2009)

I’ve always loved making tiny pots.  The challenge of making something graceful on such a small scale with my big fat fingers has always amused me.  I made a small group of these but they were never released into the general public.  I gave them to friends because I felt they were such unique and intricate pieces that I wanted them to stay close to home.  I began making these teapot finials when I made a lot of beads and it seemed obvious to replace the knobs.  Susan Wyatt added the gold luster.
