This ceramic piece was created by Shoji Hamada. Hamada was born in 1894 and grew up to be a Japanese potter. This piece was known as "Teapot". "Teapot" was made in 1950 out of reduced stoneware. Most of his work was vases or plates, which is why I chose this piece. I enjoy the shape of the teapot because it makes it look as if it was an ancient teapot. Most teapots now a days are made out of some time of metal and more round than this. I enjoy the glaze he used because it allowed the gold color to stand out against the black.
