Gray-Green Six-Pointed Star Cross-Section Reassembled Ring Teapot

This is the first reassembled ring teapot I have tried with two rings: the arc that forms the base is not a part of the original ring, which I cut into four sections for the teapot assembly. I didn't seal the cross-section of the four-pointed star base ring, so you can see the hollow construction. The finial on the lid is cut from the same end of the base ring. With these reassembled compositions, I often don't know while I am working on the teapot where the lid, handle, and spout will go. I reassemble the ring, and then stand it in different positions before choosing the final orientation.

This teapot is held in a private collection in Aspen, Colorado.

In addition to my unique reassembled ring teapots, my partner Susan Nykiel and I also make a wide range of functional and elegant pottery pieces.
