This piece won 1st place in an ICAN exhibition: the best 20 teapots in 2020. It is featured in an edition of Pottery Illustrated. It can be used for making tea and drinking, though it is perhaps better as decoration.
This teapot is an example of Swanica's combination of Mishima and Horsehair Raku techniques. The Mishima technique is a Korean/Japanese surface design technique. It is a way of precisely inlaying a slip of contrasting black clay into lines incised in leather-hard white clay to create lines and geometric shapes.
The Horsehair-Raku firing technique is a process where the red hot pieces are removed from the kiln in order to apply the final surface materials, like horsehair, sugar and feathers, which gives black carbonized lines and imprints, as well as fuming them with ferric chloride resulting in exquisite warm brow/orange/yellow colors and the original patterns.
Teapot dimensions: 9"h x 8"l x 5"w
