Handmade Teapots and Pour-over Sets

A teapot is only as good as its pour. When I make these, I do not just focus on the aesthetic; I test the spout angle, the airflow from the lid, and the wall thickness until the tea flows in a steady, drip-free stream. It is a mix of physics and art, which means every piece you hold has been stress-tested for your daily ritual.

Teapots are arguably the most complex form to throw. They require a delicate balance of fluid dynamics, as the lid must vent air properly and the spout needs a precise taper to cut the liquid cleanly. When I create a new batch, I test every single spout with water long before it reaches the glazing stage.

If you are looking for a teapot, you are looking for more than a vessel; you want a ritual partner. My teapots are crafted from high-fire stoneware, making them durable enough for daily use, whether you prefer a morning Earl Grey or a meditative green tea session.

Things to know about my teapot process:

• The Flow: I prioritize a clean, drip-free pour. If you notice slight variations in the spout angle between pieces, it is because I have manually adjusted the geometry to ensure the tea flows in a steady stream rather than a messy dribble.
• Material Strength: I use high-fire clay bodies to ensure the pieces are non-porous and heat-retentive. They are built to hold the temperature of your brew effectively.
• Care: While these are durable, I always recommend hand-washing your teapot. It keeps the glazes vibrant and ensures the spout edge stays pristine over years of use.
• Customization: If you have a specific size preference or a particular pour-over method in mind, reach out. I can often adjust the wall thickness or capacity to match how you brew your coffee or tea at home.
