Teapot with stamped patterns

This is a Japanese style teapot with a horizontal handle. Traditional patterns are impressed on the surface and after bisque firing, black dry glaze is brushed on and removed with sponge. The space without stamp patterns is covered with white glaze.

This one is another teapot with vertical handle and decorated with same patterns.

Greetings

Hello guys!

I'm a ceramist in Saitama, Japan and making pottery with animal motifs using various techniques such as stamp-work, drawing and relief carving.
Please enjoy my works and I'm glad if you leave comments on them.

Here is one of the works.


"Panda", box with green glaze, width 6.5cm.

The figure is incised on the surface and the color become darker on the area engraved deeper, where the glaze is thick.
