The creator of Alhambra Blue Teapot used dark blue gray clay to explore geometrical shapes.
The teapot is a rectangular block with an angular handle. The spout is a graceful, fluid counterpoint to the angles. The finial is also a block with small raised panels that suggest a tiled effect.
The complex body of the teapot has visible depth, since it is overlaid with panels of cut out, stylized diamond shapes.
Alhambra Blue’s intricate design will appear to the person with sophisticated tastes.
H 4.0″ x W 5.5″ Vol. 7 oz.

This is a most clever and unusual teapot. The finial is a life-like tan frog resting on a lily-pad but poised to jump.
The rounded rear of this bluish green teapot resembles a nut. The flat front presents an array of seed-like brown beads that move and rattle.
The spout has leaf detail, and the buckle at the top of the handle is a tiny brown bud. This extraordinary piece stands on “feet” of nuts and a vine whose tendril extends to the leafy spout. The Lotus Seeds and Frog teapot is a wonderful work of the artist’s imagination.
