I doubt the photos convey quite how big it actually is. She’s bigger than my head and very heavy.

Unfortunately, because she’s so heavy we don’t use her for tea making purposes but she does make a beautiful decoration for my studio :3

I made her by rolling out a long slab and then carving the “wood” textures into it. I then attached a nose and a handle that just kept falling off because it was so heavy. Overall she took me a week to make (with glazing) and, defying all odds, she didn’t crack or fall apart after the bisque

Handmade ceramics are just imperfectly perfect 🥹❣️
