Kokudei pine bark teapot by Houryu

A supremely elegant, carefully crafted teapot . The body is made using a mold but the pine-bark effect is made by adding a layer of clay to the exterior and finishing it off on the potter's wheel.

The pine-bark effect on the lid and body contrasts beautifully with the smooth lines of the handle and spout. A subtle accent has been created by scraping clay away around the rim, showing a thin line of shudei.
