This is my second teapot, focusing on balancing design and function. The narrow base and side handle affect stability, so I’ll glaze everything except the handle to shift the weight and improve balance.

I also redesigned the lid with a disk for easier grip, making it more practical.

I’ve got 113 pieces now in all shapes and sizes, all at the bisqueware stage. My shelves were maxed out ages ago—there’s barely room to squeeze in anything new. It’s getting a bit out of hand, but it’s amazing to see the collection coming together like this.

I resisted the urge to trim the neck really thin, and I’m glad I did. The shape feels strong and bold, but it still has that nice, delicate curve. It balances really well in my hands. Later today, I’ll need to throw a chuck so I can get the bottom trimmed properly.

Holding it, it still feels warm, almost like I’ve just picked it from a nest.

What kind of glaze would you picture on it?
