205ml Oxidation Redart teapot #206
The glaze details on this pot is the flower of Prunus Serotina, the US native black cherry tree.
I made this teapot at the Pittsburgh Pottery studio with their red earthen clay. Much like with Lizella, my typical studio clay, the name earthenware is deceptive here. The clay is fired to maturity at cone 1 (2075°f, 1135°c) in oxidation. It is very vitrified, meaning it has minimal porosity, and has a lovely dark red to burnt orange color. The primary ingredient of the clay is called Redart, an iron bearing clay mined in Ohio. The interior of the pot is unglazed and the exterior glazes are food safe and resilient.
