A little prettier than necessary, this pitcher bears a swollen belly and an elegant spout that curls like a lily's lip. Completely enrobed in an opaque glaze, the creamy tone derived from an ancient recipe of plant ash, closer inspection reveals a craft of such fine precision as to almost conceal its hand-thrown origins. Suggesting that there is more to what the eyes can see, this pitcher invites curious fingers to find its center of gravity and enjoy the delicate affair of pouring tea.
