Throwing a teapot demonstrates the pinnacle of a potter’s technical and creative skill. Just think of all the parts to assemble – handle, body, lid, spout and foot – not to mention the matching cup and saucer! Takashi Ichihara fires his ceramic teapots, serving pieces and dinnerware using wood ash. The type of wood that is used to make the ash determines the color of the glaze.
