This "proof of concept" 12 oz cobalt blue tea pot with a custom made white leather cozy with grey contrast stitching is beautiful to look at and use (Spencer calls this one the "baseball", lol). This pot was created using a spherical mold and then I add handmade items the spout, lid, handle and topper on the lid. This pot pours decently, it has a bit of a splash, but it's not to bad, but it may have a drip or two after the pour. The crystal grown on this pot is wonderful. I would recommend that you hold the lid on the pot when pouring. The lid has a leather ring to help protect it. The lid is very flat and does not conform to the top of the pot.

Cobalt Blue Crystalline Glazed Tea Pot with White Leather Cozy

This "proof of concept" tea pot is functional and pours well. It holds 20oz, but you must hold the lid on to pour it. The top of the lid has been broken in 4 places and repaired. This pot has a custom created mauve leather cozy with contrasting red stitching. The original plan was for this pot to have a beautiful lavender glaze, but you never know what's going to happen in the kiln, so this one came out in a very interesting brownish color. I think that the mauve leather contrasts the glaze wonderfully.

This beautiful Ivory Crystalline spherical tea pot with custom made blue leather cozy with sculptural top is stunning to look at, but is sadly non-functional. This is a smaller tea pot and is one of the "proof of concept" pots that I created. The spiral on the top has been broken in 2 places and repaired. I have embraced the imperfection, and challenge you to do so to. This pot has a matching small cup (or a semi-spherical tea bowl) with it and it includes a leather holder for the cup.

This stunning "proof of concept" tea pot is made from a slip cast sphere and handmade handle, spout, and lid. This tea pot does not have a leather cozy due to the fleur de lis' added to the pot for a decorative addition. The lid will have to be held on when pouring as it's a bit wonky. The lid does have a leather ring on it to help cushion the top. This pot can hold 20oz, but I recommend only putting 16oz in it. This pot is a very slow pouring pot and it splashes when pouring. While it is functional, I don't think it would be best using it to pour hot liquids since it does splash.

This delightful non-functional small porcelain teapot is hand painted with vivid colors that is inspired by Van Gogh's incredible "Starry Night" painting. This pot has a custom made black leather with contrasting white hand stitched cozy that wraps around the pot, a suede bottom and is held on by a small silver button by the handle. This was my first "proof of concept" pot, hence why it is non-functional. It's cute to look at and looks great with and without the cozy. It will make a fabulous knick-knack sitting on your shelf.

This delightful ivory crystalline glazed pot is beautiful to look at. I used a sphere mold and slip-cast the body of the pot. The handle, spout and top are all hand-made by me and are unique to this pot. This is a "proof of concept" pot that I am offering for sale. This one is functional 14 oz pot, but, in my opinion, does not pour well (the spout drips a bit after you pour). You must hold the lid on if you are going to use this one as a functional pot. This pot does include a custom made, hand-stitched leather cozy that is removable without the use of any hardware. This is a full cozy (meaning it has a bottom to it).

While at Disney’s Festival of the Arts (FARTS), I got to present my favorite Disney Artist, with his piece of art that inspires me daily, Maleficent’s Fury, painted with velvet underglazes on a platter for him. It was quite a moment for me if I’m being honest. Thank you Tim for being such a wonderful and gracious artist!

Are you looking for a unique way to keep your beverages cold this coming summer? Well, this green marbled metal cold cup may be for you! This cup started it's life as a black and dark green steel ombre cold cup from Starbucks, but when I saw it, it felt like it could be so much more. Now it has beautiful swirling greens, golds and whites on the cup. And while it's beautiful as is, it could be customized with your name or a design of some sort if you would like....
