Contemporary Teapots

This is what my teapot will style after.
I have always liked the intricate teapots from China and Japan so I have decided to make my own teapot. The belly will be thrown on the wheel as will the lid. I will then carve a wolf howling to the moon on the side of the pot. The feet of the teapot will be wolf paws and the handle will be the bushy tail of a wolf. The spout will be a regular spout but will be covered in scales. The handle of the lid will either be a ball or a sleeping wolf.

The scales on this pot is what the spout will have on it.


I am modeling after the Chinese teapots and will serve green tea when the pot is finished.
