Nut kiln tea boat 2
Made at Pleasant Hill Pottery in Oregon with my local clay blend that uses some iron-rich clay that I collected along the Luckiamute River in Oregon.
Fired in the test kiln at Pleasant Hill Pottery with hazelnuts as fuel! I am not sure anyone has ever done this or maybe will again haha. Nuts are not the easiest fuel to work with. Good fun though.
The chestnutty color of the clay is from a layer of hazelnut ash on the pot. This is the real character of the nut ash. A nice example of it!
You can listen to a podcast episode where I talk about the Nut Kiln chronicles here if you like… http://ThePottersCast.com/1135
This is intended to be used for chinese tea where you place a tea pot on top and use it to pour water into.
It need not be used for this though. You could use it as a flower arranging tool… the inner part being a frog for flowers. i know folks who have done this. The two pieces are separate so you could also use the larger piece as a bowl. The inner piece could also be used for incense burning.

Dimensions: Approximately 2.5” tall x 7” wide

My pots are microwave, dishwasher and oven safe. I high fire them until they’re vitrified, around 2350°F.
I use USPS and UPS and send tracking information after shipping each order.
I ship internationally; it’s no problem, but it may require a little extra postage. It’s hard to estimate as it changes from country to country. For international orders, I will contact you if there is a discrepancy between what you pay and the actual cost.
