Cuppa tea anyone? You'll need one to relax as you get caught in the Venice Clay Artists collections.



Raku is a favorite of mine.

I'm loving them, John, thanks for sharing. My favorite teapots are the panda, and the 'sausage' dog.

I guess the tea comes out of the dog's ear on this one.

Back in the 60's I found an old Japanese clay Kibuki dancer teapot in an antique store in NY, with all 7 Kibuki dancer faces on it, the 7th one forming the lid, and you could see the artist's fingerprints baked into the clay on the inside of the pot. I also had an old Victorian electroplated coffee pot that was made in the early days of electroplating. Over the years, having moved as often as I have, at some point I sold both items in a yard sale, which is better than breaking them in the move, but I wish I still had the Kibuki dancers.

beautiful!
