Oval teapot

This is a thrown, altered and assembled red earthenware teapot by Richard Phethean. The teapot was decorated with brushed slips and paper resist on the leather hard clay to create the graphic surface motifs. Following the bisque firing areas were selectively stained and wax resisted prior to receiving a coating of matt honey glaze. Richard is pictured holding this teapot that he has signed on the base.
