| Dan Greenfeld is a New York City potter-ceramic artist (a hyphenate he obsesses over) specializing in teapots — porcelain, wood-fired, wisteria handled — that are as functional as they are beautiful. After traveling and studying extensively throughout Japan, Dan chose to explore the teapot because he was challenged by the form's inherently conflicting aesthetic and functional issues. As his thinking evolved, he began to understand that a teapot of sufficient beauty and functionality could enhance people's lives. The teapot can be the focal point of a daily ritual (used in the best sense of the word) encompassing aesthetic contemplation, tea connoisseurship, considered and focused utilization of the senses, and most importantly, discourse and human connection — the essence of the tea ceremony. Be sure to read Dan's fascinating article on The Wood-Fired Teapot at http://www.tching.com/index.php/2006/10/05/the-wood-fired-teapot/. We're sure you'll also enjoy his inspired piece on Teapots - Function and Beauty at http://www.tching.com/index.php/2006/08/21/teapots-function-and-beauty/. Height: 4.75 inches, 12 cm. Width: 6.25 inches, 16 cm. The handle adds an additional 3 inches (7.5 cm) to the height. | ||
