TEAPOTS TRANSFORMED : FUNCTION AND INVENTION
Ferrin, Leslie
02870508 Hard Cover. Brand New/Brand New Book Jacket. .Author: Leslie Ferrin. 128 pages, List Price: $30.00. Today the teapot has one foot in the kitchen and the other in the art world, according to Leslie Ferrin, a gallery owner and the project director of Celestial Seasonings' annual teapot competition and exhibition. The more than 120 pots pictured in this colorful catalog prove her statement. Ranging from beautifully crafted stoneware that exemplifies the thousands of years of culture infused in tea drinking to sculptural works that refer to that culture although they themselves could never contain hot water & leaves, Ferrin's pot collection is whimsical, nostalgic, ironic, erotic—anything but staid. Eric Van Eimeren's Urchin Teapot bristles with spikes & springy feet, Michael Boyd's four-piece Single Service is carved from precious/semiprecious stone and accented with gold and silver, and David Damkoehler's stainless steel Fast Lane Teapot looks like it's breaking the land speed record as it sits on its own wheeled tray. Take a pekoe at this book! For artists working in clay, metal, glass and an amazing range of other materials, teapots offer irresistible possibilities of design, decoration and scale. Pour over the fine blend of traditional and functional teapots mixed with eclectic blend of contemporary designs. Served up with dramatic photography, this wonderful study turns high tea into high art. Showcasing over 140 unique pieces, it is a tribute to exceptional creativity and technical ability. 128 Pages Madison, WI, U.S.A.: GUILD, LLC, 2000
