DescriptionA teapot made in a wood-textured trompe l’oeil style with a visible texture similar to bark. The central cylindrical form extends up, with two branches extending from the base to create the handle and spout; both are "tied" together near the top, with what looks like wire, but is formed clay. The lid sits flush in the top of the teapot, and its handle is a small branch extending from the top center.Copyright© Ah Leon
