This little jewel teapot is inspired by Fou Chong.

I saw his teapots years ago at an NCECA conference,

and have been pursuing them ever since.

Recently one of my students kick-started the chase yet again,

so together we began playing with form and technique.

This particular gem seguied into my pursuit of Copper Red Glazes.

The following pots are just the start.

I figured out that they like to sit in the middle of the shelf,

with protection from the force of the flame.

Anybody out there know what I'm talking about?
