| Biennial teapot exhibition | | 2008-05-06 01:31:00 | | Craft Alliance's biennial teapot exhibition is one of the institution's most popular events. This year, the show includes more than 80 clay teapots made by more than 60 potters.The pots were chosen by master potter Fong Choo, who invited 20 artists and chose the rest from submissions. "I selected the works based on four criteria: strong form, great craftsmanship, skill in handling the medium and attention to detail," Choo said. Potters from all over the country are featured.In addition to being more or less functional — some of the pots might frustrate users — all the pots were required to fit within a 10-by-10-inch box.Full article | | By: teapots teapots teapots | | |

| Gräfsnäs castle teapot? | | 2008-03-09 14:42:00 | | Johannes has been researching Gräfsnäs castle ruin near Gothenburg, Sweden. The former castle has an interesting history. According to the legend it was cursed by a woman that was badly treated by the landowner. She told that it would be plagued by fire three times with 100 years apart, and the castle was actually burnt in 1634, 1734 and 1834.During the day of the fire in 1834 many people came to 'rescue' the things in the castle and many things were stolen.It is believed that the teapot above came from the castle via a gardener.Can it be dated to before or after the looting in 1834 I wonder? It was made by a company called Shaw & Fisher...anyone know anything about them? | | By: teapots teapots teapots | | |

| Second Annual Texas Teapot Tournament | | 2008-01-04 10:18:00 | | By Dusti Rhodes Short, stout, handle and spout will all be taken for an interesting spin today at the “Second Annual Texas Teapot Tournament.” The competition features plenty of interesting takes on the teakettle by potters from around the globe. The creations range from traditional pots to more abstract designs that — if they could talk — might get all steamed up and shout, “How the hell do you tip me over and pour me out?”Artists such as Joanne Taylor Brown, Nancy Goodearl and Joy Tanner offer more traditional teapots, with a touch of inspiration from seashells, houseplants and haystacks, respectively. Among the more abstract ones are Mirtha Aertker’s, which have baby arms and legs sticking out of the tops and sides. And Meryl Ruth, who won the Memorial Award in last year’s tournament, returns this year with a teapot that looks exactly like a purse — save for the spout.See if these are your cup of tea, and don’t forget to vote for the People’s Choice Award at today’s opening reception from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. 3195 Inwood (private residence). After today the exhibit will be moved to the Houston Potters Guild. Regular viewing hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays, and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. Through January 31. 2726 White Oak Drive. For information, call 713-528-7687 or visit www.houstonpotters.com. Free.Wednesdays-Sundays. Starts: Jan. 5.
