Tea Time

Another of the pieces from the Gardiner Museum of Ceramics that caught my fancy is this wonderful teapot by American artist Richard Notkin who is known for his statement teapots. I love the quirkiness of this one with the dice handle on the lid and the walnut and acorn supports down at the bottom.

  13. It is a clever teapot. At a first glance, I thought it might have been Asian, but obviously the details dispelled that thought.
