Unintentionally inspired by old school coffee boilers, I wanted to make a type of covered pitcher and thought the medieval pitcher shape I already make could be altered slightly to accommodate a lid. After making my first batch and feeling good about my new creativity, I was walking around a museum and ended up looking at a mock up of an old kitchen, only to realize after a few minutes that a metal version of the covered pitchers I started making was sitting there next to the fake fire. While I’m still quite pleased with my variation of the shape, I do have to admit to myself there was less creative inspiration and more of a forgotten memory of a coffee kettle that inspired me.
Perfect for a hefty coffee pour over or a lovely batch of ice tea.
This pitcher had my red slip splashed onto one side creating an arched canvas for some delicate floral slip trailing, then dipped in a celedon glaze made from a local granite before being fired for 120 hours. The long firing and slow cooling paired together to form some wonderful variety in the glaze.
Height 8.5”
